Fantastic Safari!
5/5

Fantastic trip
Lewis planned a wonderful trip for us, with the perfect combination of safari, culture and down time. Lodges were unique and truly beyond expectations and the plan was rich but not overwhelming.
Patric is excellent safari driver (very important!) and a knowledgeable ,fun and friendly guide (our teenage kids were sad to part from him at the end of the trip. Not easy to keep teenagers happy!). He was accommodating to our wants and knew how to change plans on the spot if needed so we would have the best experience possible. Truly 10 out of 10.

Imara Africa Safaris gave me the best safari experience
5/5

My experience with Imara Africa Safaris was exceptional. The Amboseli National Park was a breathtaking journey into Kenya's wildlife, offering stunning views of majestic elephants and diverse flora. Crossing the border into Tanzania at Namanga Border post added an exciting international dimension to the trip. Interacting with the warm and welcoming Tanzanian locals provided insights into their rich culture. Imara Africa Safaris ensured a seamless and enriching adventure, combining wildlife, scenery, and cultural encounters. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a memorable safari experience. Looking forward to the next one!

Great experience and thoughtful/ kind guides!
5/5

We saw several national parks and stayed at some beautiful locations in Kenya - all for a great value. The sightseeing and guides were one of a kind. Overall, it was a magical experience, they go above and beyond to accommodate, and I would do it again.

Surreal experience in Kenya with IMARA Africa Safari!
5/5

We had an amazing experience travelling with IMARA during our recent trip to Kenya. We were a group of 5 adults (including two senior citizens) and 1 kid (6-year-old). The trip was well curated by Lewis and covered places with breathtaking landscapes and various wild animals. A seven-day packed itinerary covered the key national parks and destinations like Amboseli National Park (could view Mt. Kilimanjaro from the park), Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and of course the majestic Masai Mara. The childhood memories of the story and movie of Lion King was also refreshed during our trip to Hell’s Gate National Park as we could visualise the view from Pride Rock and the gorge where Mufasa fell to his death.

Due to unavoidable flight cancellation by airline at the last moment our entire trip had to be shifted by a day. This required all our hotel bookings and game drives passes to be pushed out by a day accordingly. Lewis went out of the way to adjust our bookings in the same hotels, making sure our trip did not get affected. The entire team of IMARA was also present at the airport when our flight landed early morning in Nairobi to welcome us, which was heartwarming.

Further our trip wouldn’t be as memorable if it wasn’t for Patrick, our guide for the trip. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly the right places to be at the parks and with some luck we were able to even see not so common things. He had thorough knowledge, not only about wildlife but other things in Kenya as well. With his excellent communication skills, we were able to understand a lot of things during our trip and equally able to ask him questions. He was friendly and respectful and bonded with our family very well.

For all of us it was our first trip to Kenya and quite a memorable one. If we plan any other trip in Africa, especially East Africa, IMARA would definitely be our first choice!

An absolutely perfect safari experience for my family and I
5/5

Luis, Patrick, and Ian were absolutely flawless during our time with them. They made us feel like family from the beginning, and were always willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any needs or questions we may have had. We were able to see so many animals in the two parks we visited, and when it was allowed, we had opportunities to get quite close to the animals to just be able to admire them and get amazing photos.

Thank you so much to you three for making this experience for my family and I unforgettable. Imara Africa Safaris has my fully recommendation, don't look any further, and just book with them!

They are the best at what they do. Good job Imara Africa Safaris
5/5

I had an incredible experience visiting Amboseli National Park organized by Imara Africa Safaris. From start to finish, the trip was nothing short of amazing, and I can't recommend them enough. The first thing that struck me was the exceptional level of organization. Imara Africa Safaris took care of every detail, ensuring a smooth and worry-free journey. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and a genuine sense of being in the heart of the African wilderness.

The real highlight, of course, was the wildlife. Amboseli National Park is home to some of the most stunning and iconic creatures on Earth. Imara Africa Safaris' guides were not only experts in their field but also passionate about wildlife conservation. Their knowledge and dedication added a whole new dimension to our experience. We had the privilege of witnessing incredible elephant herds, lions, giraffes, and countless other species up close, often in the shadow of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.

The memories created during this journey will be cherished forever. If you're considering a safari adventure, I wholeheartedly recommend Imara Africa Safaris for their professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to delivering an unforgettable and responsible travel experience.

Amazing!
5/5

I’m so glad to have booked with Imara for our wedding anniversary trip. They went above and beyond throughout the trip , starting with such a warm welcome by the entire team at the airport. Met Lewis and his lovely wife Wendy, we were gifted some goodies to be used during our safari. The team also went above and beyond on our arrival when our baggage was delayed and delivered them to us before we set out for our safari.

Similarly, having such an experienced safari driver was a plus, Patrick has over 18 years of experience which was evident by the way he drove us as close to the animals as possible giving us the best view. He also gave us great knowledge about each animal when sighted. He was very friendly and accommodating when we asked for anything. And found the perfect balance of being informative without being overbearing which is a fine balance many drivers won’t have.

Imara also planned some special surprises for us which made our trip even more memorable! We went for a more customised package thus covered Nairobi, Aberdare forest, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. They managed to meet all our accommodation choices unlike other Safari companies we came across. Would recommend them to anyone and looking forward to book with them in the future to cover other parts of Africa :)

On the last day, we really wanted to try local food, the team went out of their way to take us to their local favourite spot. We were joined by Patrick, Lewis and Wendy for lunch which made it a wholesome experience.
