Both David and Julius were fantastic. Extremely polite and accommodating.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with drinks and goodies. If you are planning to go there book with these guys. They have great knowledge of all the animals and take you to all the great places. It was a trip of a lifetime and this company made it even better. Book with them…. You won’t be disappointed.

Imani Excursions gave us the experience of a lifetime!!
Beginning with our greeting at the airport, Imani Excursions did not disappointment through the entire trip. The owner, Imani himself came out to give us a big welcoming. Our tour guides David and Julius were always cheerful, very knowledge about the areas we visited and the animals we encountered. They knew where to find the animals. I'm still in disbelief about the heart pounding encounters we had with the animals. We came away learning about the animals, the culture and were even taught a little Swahili. Thank you David and Julius!! This is definitely something my family and especially our kids will never forget because of you.
Our accommodations were beautiful staying at Manyara's Secret and the Lahia Luxury Tent Lodge. Manyara's Secret was right on the lake with your own individual private pools. The food was delicious and staff were very welcoming and attentive. The whole place was gorgeous. In Lahia, other than the zip up walls you wouldn't even think you were in a tent. The rooms were large, huge bed and overlooked the Serengeti with the two sinks and toilet inside your tent. There was a beautiful private outdoor shower attached to your room. Animals came right up to the lodge. It was incredible walking through zebras on the way to dinner.
There are many tour companies in Tanzania. You should not hesitate in booking with Imani and his staff. You can tell that they love their jobs and are in awe with us encountering the animals even after many years of giving tours. This translated to an incredible and unforgettable experience for us. Imani Excursions made us fall in love with Tanzania and if we ever get back there we will definitely book with them again.

Best trip ever!
Taking a trip to Africa is one of the biggest trips you will take in your life so you want it to go well. When I started the journey I researched so many different safaris and read so many reviews. I kept coming back to Imani Excursions. My only draw back was that they didn’t have a lot of reviews. The reviews they did have were good so I decided to book them. I was nervous not knowing if this is a company I could trust. I can honestly tell you that you will not go wrong booking Imani Excursions. Mike was always quick to respond to all my emails about questions I had about the trip before we arrived. When we arrived we were greeted at the airport with drinks, snacks, gift, and music. What a welcome! Our safari guides Julie’s and David were with us throughout the entire trip. We felt 100% safe and were taken care of well. Imani greeted us at the airport and followed us to our first accommodation to Make sure check it went well. The accommodations we stayed at were absolutely beautiful! At Manyaras secret we had a four bedroom villa with a private full sized swimming pool. The safaris were amazing! We saw so much wildlife and up close. We saw the big 5 and much much more. We saw a lion pack of 7 with babies and all hunting baboons. Elephants rushed in trumpets and all to rescue the baboons. It looked like something you would see at Universal Studios but it was real. We have traveled all over the world and this trip is now our favorite. Look no further and book Imani Excursions. They will give you an amazing trip and take care of you well.

David and Julius were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to provide an excellent service
We were well fed and treated like royalty. We saw many many animals, every thing but the cheetah. We saw rhino lions hundreds of wildebeest and Zebra many antelope of different species even a leopard. We couldn't Have asked for more it was well worth the money. The overnight accommodations were amazing I would recommend to anyone thinking of going to Africa
They were very nice and kind.
This trip was a great experience. I went with my parents, grandparents, and aunts. The accommodations were beautiful. I loved seeing all the animals. The tour guides were nice.

Simply excellent!
Wow, we don’t even know where to begin to describe how wonderful Imani Excursions is. From the very first moment, right down to the last, they’ve been nothing but amazing. The Sales team was so responsive and helpful in helping us curate the best safari & Zanzibar experience to suit our wishes. They answered all of our questions and went out of their way to make suggestions that ended up enhancing our trip.
Next, our driver. We learned so much from him, and he made our wish of seeing a cheetah come true. Actually, he found us four (4!!!) cheetahs, one of which was still a baby. It was honestly a dream.
There are truly not enough words to praise Imani Excursions. Hopefully we’ll be fortunate enough in the future to visit Tanzania again, and when we do, we will absolutely book with them again!

Tribute to Imani, the best tour guide in Tanzania
I am very glad to have chosen Imani Excursions among all the travel agencies. They gave me the most concise and clear itinerary plan，and the most reasonable hotel quote，the fastest reply response, and the best experience within your budget. It’s really not easy to meet an agency which can understand you while traveling, but Imani Excursions did it.
Safari guides almost determine most of the experience of the trip. So i was very happy when I knew that Imani would be our tour guide, cause I had seen a lot of praise for him on the website, but the reality is far better than the reviews I saw. I must praise him as a gentleman, a family member, a teacher and a warm companion. He took the best care of us during the safari trip.
Imani has been in this industry for more than 16 years, his eyesight is much better than our telescope, he can always find out where the animals are before we do, even if the animal is far away. He is also very knowledgeable and knows about animals, roadside plants, and various birds, and the society and culture of Tanzania. Every question you ask, he has the answer.
He is also a highly skilled and intelligent driver, never let us get stuck in the mud, drive safely and quickly, and help us discover the best angles for photographing animals. When passing a vehicle stuck in the mud, he would stop to help them after asking for our opinion. You will see many guides along the safari. Compared with others, no matter how tired Imani is, he always full energy, keep smiling.What he talked about most during the trip was “no worries” and “take your time”. Imani is very flexible, he always has a good way to help us solve any temporary itineraries or problems we encounter.
Imani speaks both English and French very well, even our English is not very good, he always tries to explain it to us in different ways so that we finally understand. Thanks again for the wonderful time he brought us, I hope we can chat more with him next time when we meet. And I also want to thank another tour guide, Joshua, he is like our big brother, next time when we go to climb Kilimanjaro, I will look for him.
If you are wondering which agency to choose to start your safari trip, I must say it's Imani Excursions. I still have a lot of words of praise to say, but other people’s comments are never as good as your own personal experience.

He is an exceptional blend of expertise, passion, attentiveness, make the adventure unforgettable
This trip is perfect to embark on with like-minded friends, and having a reliable, knowledgeable, sharp-eyed (very important for spotting distant animals), gentlemanly, and humorous guide is crucial, as it significantly enhances the experience. lucky! we had imani, he is perfect. It truly was an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. btw, the condition of the hotel&tent is also super well, the food is excellent too, missing everything in this trip!

Fantastic! Incredible! It’s great value for money.
The journey they arranged was the best experience for me. From the superficial taste to the emotional shock, there was a sense of freshness every day and deepened our understanding of this place. It was we who had feelings for this place. I am very satisfied with the transportation, accommodation and itinerary, which may be quite different from the eating habits of Chinese people. , so remind Chinese people that they'd better bring some of their favorite food when they come. Thank you for Imani's sincere and kind service. I highly recommend it!
