Responsive and helpful
Excellent service start to finish. Our first shout out to Lincoln who was our POC for everything from booking the vacation, filling out stuff, answering all our questions and for being always responsive and helpful.
Second shout out to the service we received while in the car and at the hotels. Strong free wifi always in the car no matter how remote the location we were in, we always had the fastest and reliable internet. A mini fridge with unlimited water and cold drinks for us at all times. While at the hotels we were always received with a warm welcome, an excellent service, amazing food options, helpful staff, clean and cozy rooms.
Lastly, and biggest shout out to our amazing driver Patrick who drove us everywhere from start to finish. From picking us up from the hotels, taking us on game drives, patiently waiting for us to take pictures of all the beautiful animals no matter how many times we ask him to stop for a quick snap, for his impeccable driving skills in one of the most challenging terrains I have even experienced, for his absolutely incredible memory to remember every single location for our hotels, all the crazy roads without any sings, while still managing to find the best spots to see wildlife every single time.
Patrick is one of the rare gems who knew was extremely patient with us, kind, caring and helpful. His knowledge of identifying every unique animal and bird was always on point.
I cannot recommend enough how much we enjoyed as a family of 4, if we ever decide to do this all over again, we will not hesitate to book again with Imara African Safari.

Would recommend 10/10
We were very pleased with our 7-day safari booked through Imara! In short: Simon was an amazing guide - flexible, kind, and a great travel companion. Good service, good program, and flexibility to tailor the trip to our needs, both before the trip as during the trip.
We booked our trip with Wendy just a couple of weeks before departure. She was happy to assist, responded quickly and could help us answering some question we had about travelling during the rainy season (conclusion: please go!). We were offered some nice upgrades that made our trip just a bit more memorable.
On the day of arrival, they arranged an airport pick up to our hotel. The day we started the safari, we had a warm welcome by the Imara team at our hotel, and were set off with some safari presents.
During our trip we visited Amboselli NP, Lake Naivasha, cycled at Hell’s gate, did game drives at Lake Nakuru NP and ended our trip at Masai Mara NP. We were happily surprised about the number of game drives and activities, that were all unique in their own way. The parks were really really amazing! With water levels in the lake rising, we feel that the visit to the peninsula at Lake Naivasha was a bit less special compared to the other activities, but it was a welcome way to break the long trip from Amboselli to Lake Nakuru. In general we feel that the trip was planned making very efficient use of our time, without becoming too stringent or tiring.
The lodges were all in all good to very good quality for a mid-range trip. We were especially pleased with our stays in Kibo Safari Camp (shout out to Anthony managing the restaurant) and Sarova Lion Hill (the best food we had on the trip).
And then the highlight of our trip: doing game drives with Simon, our guide. Simon is a wonderfull person, he listens very well to your wishes and is always happy to explain why certain choices are made. Especially within the rainy season, this is vital to make the most of your trip and skip being out during optional heavy showers. Thank you Simon for making our trip so memorable!
We look back to an amazing safari trip and would recommend Imara 10 out of 10 to anyone who wants to explore the magin of the Kenian savanna!

Trip of a lifetime to Kenya
We had the most incredible experience with Imara Africa Safari and truly made memories that will last a lifetime. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless and stress-free. The team was extremely responsive and accommodating, happily amending even the smallest of details to ensure everything was perfect for us. Before we even arrived, they went above and beyond by assisting with a visa issue, having it sorted for one of us within just 30 minutes, which was absolutely amazing.
Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned and executed with outstanding attention to detail. We visited the Masa Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and Diani Beach, with every stop organised flawlessly. We were even met in Nairobi upon arrival, which made everything feel smooth and welcoming from the start. The accommodation, food, and people we encountered throughout the trip were all fantastic, and the entire experience was excellent value for money.
The highlight of our trip, without a doubt, was our driver, Anthony. He was patient, kind, and incredibly generous with his knowledge. He truly made our trip. Anthony is a complete gentleman and a real credit to Imara Africa Safari. We loved spending time with him, both during our game drives and in the evenings getting to know him. He made sure we saw absolutely every animal possible, and many of the unforgettable moments we experienced simply wouldn’t have happened without him. One particularly special touch was when he went off track to show us tea plantations after we mentioned how much we enjoyed Kenyan tea, something as Irish people we were very grateful for! He waited at every point for us to observe the animals in our own time, take photos and never rushed the experience for us. We enjoyed his calm and relaxed nature and it added to our experience.
We cannot recommend Imara Africa Safari highly enough. This was a truly special trip, and we are so grateful for everything they did to make it perfect. We are especially delighted to have made a new friend in Anthony.
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 🌟
