Very much enjoyed the tour
We took the tour with 1 adult and 3 kids of 9,11 and 15 years old. They were very responsive during planning and flexible to accommodate our family’s needs like adding horseback riding. Our guide Patrick was very polite and knowledgeable, we could see very exciting moments in safari.
The tour was well designed to experience variety of things in Kenya, very much recommended.
It was a phenomenal experience
We had the most amazing experience with this tour company! We changed our itinerary multiple times and Catherine was so helpful, kind, and patient all throughout the planning. Simon, our tour guy, just phenomenal!! The best man that made our trip worthwhile. Wendy and her husband are absolutely considerate and caring couple, making sure everything was perfect during our stay. They all took the time out to see us on our arrival and before our departure, which meant a lot to us. Everyone is so personable, attentive and welcoming. We had the best experience, best anniversary, trip ever and very blessed to have come across this company. Highly recommend 100/10 🌟
10/10 for Imara Africa
I had an opportunity to visit Africa for the first time on a trip organized by Imara Africa. The 6-day trip was centered in Kenya and included wildlife reserves in Nairobi, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Maasai Mara. Each location had unique experiences and the details were expertly curated through Imara Africa.
We met the team, including our guide Simon, as soon as we exited customs in Nairobi, Kenya. They met us with lovely welcome gifts and explained our itinerary, answering all questions. What I did not understand initially was that Simon was to remain with us every step of the way. He was our driver, translator, facilitator, bodyguard, wildlife expert, concierge and companion. We could not have asked for a better guide helping us to maximize our experience.
You will not travel wild Africa like we did without complications, diversions and the unexpected. Simon met each challenge with patience and good humor. It was a genuine pleasure to talk with him and see him at work. He knew where to go, how to get there and seemed to know everyone in Kenya!
The lodgings were top notch, with world class service and excellent food. Lodgings and almost all food were included in the package. The team even upgraded us at one point to help celebrate an anniversary in our group.
En route to Maasai Mara we traveled deep off-road and spent several hours with the nomadic Maasai people, walking their territory with them and visiting their village. We were partnered with a pair of Maasai men who demonstrated their way of life and answered all our questions. This was not a tourist simulation, but a very moving window into the lives of real people living as they have for centuries. The hours we spent with the Maasai were humbling and remarkable.
I did not expect to be moved as I was by the vast grasslands. You may know that the Grand Canyon is a big hole in the ground but it still steals your breath when you stand at its edge. The Maasai Mara savannah is like that. Looking for miles in all directions, witnessing teeming herds of wild creatures, watching the cloud shadows race across the grass. It is a spiritual event.
The safaris were the highlight of the trip. We traveled in the same heavy duty four-wheel-drive Land Cruiser each day, modified for the rough terrain of the savannah and safe animal observation. The large windows, pop-up top, individual charging stations at each seat and additional cushions made long hours in the vehicle comfortable and ideal for close but safe viewing of the animals.
The animal encounters were intimate and almost too numerous to count. We saw dozens of lions, hippo, elephants, monkeys, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, antelope, gazelle, and exotic birds. We even saw elusive animals like hyenas, warthogs and white rhino. We visiting conservation centers dedication to rehabilitating orphaned animals (12 baby elephants simultaneously fed from 12 enormous baby bottles). The headliner for me was the 30+ minute encounter with a regal mother cheetah and her three fuzzy cubs.
In short, I cannot imagine visiting the wonders of Africa with any other group. I will return with family and friends so I can share this once-in-a-lifetime experience with them. Imara Africa gets a 10/10.

Perfect
We had an amazing one-week safari in Kenya with IMARA SAFARI, traveling as a group of four. Everything was very well organized from start to finish.
The selection of lodges and hotels was excellent — comfortable, well located, and perfect for experiencing the different parks. Our itinerary included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, which was a fantastic combination of landscapes and wildlife.
Our driver-guide was one of the highlights of the trip. He was very experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly, and it was clear he knew the parks extremely well. Thanks to him we saw an incredible variety of animals and always felt safe and well taken care of. He was also very flexible with the daily schedule and adapted the program when needed so we could make the most of every day.
The safari vehicle was in very good condition and comfortable for the long drives, making the game drives very enjoyable.
Communication with the company was excellent throughout the entire trip. Through WhatsApp we always received very quick responses whenever we needed something. They were also incredibly helpful with several things that were not even part of their responsibilities, which we truly appreciated.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we highly recommend IMARA SAFARI to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Professional service, great planning, and an unforgettable adventure.
Excellent safari partner in Kenya!
We reached out to several Kenyan tour operators directly but ultimately selected Imara Africa Safaris due to Wendy's responsiveness, flexibility and attention to detail. We leaned on her experience and input as we crafted what ended up being a 10-day trip across Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
We were a little nervous at the nature of safari trips where upfront payments are made, but the Imara team delivered as planned, made accommodations for our 2 young girls (8 and 6) and assigned the best driver/guide in Eduard!
The trip itself was fantastic. Eduard was timely, patient and informative. We were also amazed at how he navigated all of Kenya with no maps or GPS, and was very successful at identifying animals, sharing fun facts and making the trip very memorable.
I would use Imara again in a heartbeat and have recommended them to a few friends since returning home.
