When you send us a client, you are lending us your reputation.
I have spent my working life on these roads. Long before there were itineraries or awards, there were early mornings, dust, and the quiet business of learning a place properly.
That is what I want you to feel when you hand a client over. Not a booking passed to a supplier, but a journey placed with someone who knows the camp manager by name, who knows which guide suits a nervous first timer, and who will pick up the phone at two in the morning if the weather turns.
We keep the number of journeys small on purpose. It is the only way I know to protect the standard you are putting your name against.

Travel Advisor FAQs
Safari DMC questions, answered.
What is a luxury safari DMC?
A luxury safari DMC is a destination management company. It designs, prices and operates safaris on the ground, so a travel advisor can sell the trip under their own brand. Ongeri Expeditions handles camps, guides, vehicles, internal flights, transfers and 24 hour support across East Africa and the Indian Ocean.
What is the difference between a DMC and a safari tour operator?
A tour operator sells directly to travellers under its own brand. A DMC works behind the travel advisor. We quote net rates, issue proposals and documents in your name, and keep your client relationship yours.
Why use a Kenya based DMC instead of booking camps direct?
One team in Nairobi holds the whole journey together: camps, guides, flights, transfers and a single point of contact. You send one brief and receive one itinerary with net rates, instead of coordinating several suppliers across countries and border crossings.
What is Ongeri Expeditions?
Ongeri Expeditions is a boutique luxury safari DMC and ground handler based in Nairobi, Kenya. We plan and operate private tailormade safaris for travel advisors across Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zanzibar, Seychelles and Mauritius. We are boutique by design, so every guest has our undivided attention.
Do you give net trade rates?
Yes. We quote confidential net rates, so you add your own margin and keep your pricing your own. Commissionable rates are available on request.
Do you work in our name, white label?
Yes. Proposals, itineraries and travel documents go out under your brand. Your client sees only you.
Which destinations do you cover?
Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Zanzibar, Seychelles and Mauritius, including the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Amboseli, Ngorongoro, gorilla trekking and the Indian Ocean beaches.
Which consortia do you work with?
We work with advisors from every major consortium, including Virtuoso, Signature, Ensemble, Travel Leaders and Serandipians, as well as independent advisors and agencies.
How fast do you reply?
Usually within a day, with a full itinerary and net rates.
Do you host fam trips and site inspections?
Yes. We arrange fam trips and site inspections for our partners. Tick the box on the form above to be included.
What lead time do you recommend?
For peak season, roughly July to October, we suggest six to twelve months ahead for the best camps. We also handle shorter timelines when availability allows.
Do you handle groups, incentives, honeymoons and families?
Yes. We operate honeymoons, family safaris, private guided safaris, fly in safaris, groups and incentives, gorilla trekking and bush and beach journeys.
Do you arrange flights, transfers and VIP airport service?
Yes. We handle internal flights, road transfers and VIP airport meet and greet, fast track and lounge access as part of the ground service.
What support is there while clients are travelling?
We provide 24 hour on ground support, with a team in Nairobi reachable day or night for the length of every trip.
How do payments and deposits work?
Terms depend on the camps and the season. We set them out clearly in every proposal, alongside net rates and cancellation terms.
