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.

Unforgettable Experience!
Our trip to Kenya and Zanzibar with Imara Safari was truly the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment of an unforgettable adventure.
We travelled through Nairobi, the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo, and finished with a wonderful stay in Zanzibar. Each destination offered something unique, from incredible wildlife sightings and breathtaking landscapes to beautiful beaches and unforgettable memories.
A special mention must go to our guide and driver, Eddie. His knowledge of the wildlife, local culture, and the parks was outstanding. He always went the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience, and his expertise helped us spot an amazing variety of animals throughout the trip. His passion for Kenya and its wildlife really enhanced our safari.
I would also like to thank Wendy, who played a huge part in helping me organise a surprise proposal to my girlfriend at the stunning Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Everything was arranged perfectly, and it created a magical moment that we will cherish forever. The attention to detail and support from Wendy made the occasion completely stress-free and incredibly special.
This was far more than just a holiday—it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with adventure, romance, and memories that will stay with us forever. I cannot recommend Imara Safari highly enough and would happily book with them again in the future.
Thank you to the entire team for making our dream trip a reality!

Amazing Safari Experience
We have just returned from an incredible safari organised by Imara African Safaris, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Lewis and Wendy were absolutely fantastic. Our first inquiry was handled with care and professionalism. The knowledge and guidance provided in booking our itinerary was invaluable. The team was extremely responsive and accommodating, happily amending even the smallest of details to ensure everything was perfect for us.
One of the things that immediately stood out upon arrival was the personal service. It was such a lovely touch that the owner and members of the team took the time to come and meet us at the start of our trip at the airport at 5am. It made us feel genuinely valued as guests and showed how much they care about providing an exceptional experience from day one.
A huge thank you goes to our guide, Simon who made this journey truly unforgettable. His enthusiasm and deep understanding of the wildlife and local culture added so much value to every game drive. His knowledge of the local area was incredible, and no matter what question we asked, he always knew the answer. Beyond that, he was genuinely one of the friendliest, kindest, and most professional people we have met. We covered many kilometers and visited several parks, yet we always felt completely safe. 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. Simon’s passion for what he does shone through every day and made our safari experience unforgettable.
Each of the accommodations selected by Imara offered an amazing experience. We were greeted by friendly faces who often greeted us with a song, hot towel and cool drink. The accommodations were always spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The food was always delicious and varied and offered some traditional Kenyan dishes. The locations meant that you were in the parks and able to see and hear the animals from either the main building or your room. We arrived at one lodge and had an elephant mother and baby feeding right outside. Another accommodation had a watering hole which had so many animals visited throughout the day and you could sit on the veranda and watch the animals pass. Whilst the game drives are intensive the accommodations gave you a relaxing safe place to rest after the game drive whilst still having amazing animal experiences.
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.
