Reliable
I relied my first safari experience on Francis in Jocky Tours and so happy about that. I knew we were going to see a lot of animals but reality overcame my expectations. It was like a challenge for Francis to show us all possible animals and he accomplished it every single time! Rhinos, a leopard, a cheetah, we saw them only because of Francis's reaction, attitude and patience. These animals weren't easy to spot but we took 100% of our chances and did it. One of participants in our group told me that his previous guide wasn't even close to that, so if you want to see all possible animals, my recommendation is to ask for Francis

Amazing Safari Experience
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Rodgers.
Throughout the entire trip, Rodgers was incredibly professional, patient and responsible. We spent many long hours on the road between the different national parks, and he was always energetic, reliable and made sure we were comfortable and safe.
During the game drives, he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and had a great eye for spotting animals. He always tried his best to help us see as much as possible, while never making us feel rushed. We learned so much from him about the animals, the parks and Kenya along the way.
What we appreciated most was how genuinely kind and easygoing Rodgers was. After spending six days together, it felt less like travelling with a guide and more like travelling with a friend.
Thank you, Rodgers, for taking such good care of us and for making our first safari such a memorable experience. We will definitely remember this trip for a very long time. Highly recommended! 🦁🐘🦒🇰🇪

Wonderful trip
I had an amazing safari experience in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru! Our guide, Rodgers, was incredibly responsible, friendly and knowledgeable about wildlife. He was always quick to spot animals and shared lots of interesting facts with us. He worked really hard, driving long hours every day to make sure we had the best experience possible. His English was excellent, and communication was always easy and enjoyable. He was also very cheerful and talkative, which made the whole trip even more fun. Highly recommend Rogers as a safari guide!

Responsive and flexible
We were 2 friends doing a 7 day 6 nights safari in Rift Valley and Maasai Mara. We had an amazing time. Our guide Jesse was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. The team at Imara was very responsive and tried their best to adapt to our requirements. We got to see all the Big 5 on our first day in Maasai Mara thanks to our amazing guide (and some luck). Everything was taken care of and went smoothly. I highly recommend Imara and Jesse! Thank you for a great week
Advice: be very clear on what you want / what's a must have and check it is reflected in the final offer. This is not specific to Imara as we had that issue with other safari tour operators.

Great trip, experience and guide.
We had a fantastic trip with so many incredible experiences, from seeing the Big Five to taking in the beautiful landscapes of Zimbabwe, Zambia and Botswana.
Our guide, Delight, was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable, always happy to help and went out of his way to take us wherever we needed to go. He really made our trip unforgettable!
On our first evening, we enjoyed a river cruise along the Zambezi River, complete with delicious appetisers and drinks, and the opportunity to get up close to hippos. On the second day, we opted for the additional rhino safari in Zambia, which was fantastic and something I would highly recommend.
The game drives through Chobe National Park were incredible. We were lucky enough to get up close to a lion and her cubs, as well as a leopard, alongside beautiful herds of elephants, giraffes, impalas and buffalo, and an amazing variety of birdlife.
For me, Elephant Sands was the highlight of the entire trip. The accommodation was beautiful, with wonderful views of elephants gathering at the watering hole right from our bedroom window. The food was also delicious! Being able to observe the elephants so closely, learn about their behaviour and watch how they interact with one another was such a special and unforgettable experience.
Unfortunately, we weren’t able to camp overnight on the salt pans due to the wet conditions. However, watching the sunset there was beautiful, and Fuhara arranged alternative accommodation for us.
We finished our adventure in the Okavango Delta, with mokoro rides, bush walks and an overnight camping experience. This was another absolute highlight, and we even had the opportunity to learn how to pole a mokoro ourselves, which was great fun!
The only downside was the communication and organisation with some of the external tour operators in Botswana. On one occasion, we were collected and then had to sit and wait in the car at the game reserve gate for our safari vehicle to arrive for an hour and a half. Thankfully, the game drive itself was phenomenal and well worth it. I cannot fault Fuhara for the overall tour, but I do think there is an opportunity for them to improve communication with and provide feedback to the external operators they work with, as the reliability and timings of some excursions could have been better.
Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable trip filled with incredible wildlife encounters, beautiful scenery and unique experiences. A huge thank you to Delight for making it so special!

Such a perfect experience!

Absolutely amazing
Everything went smooth, during the safari we made several itinerary changes which they were happy to accommodate. Our guide Abdoul, was kind, knowledgeable and considerate to our every need. On one occasion my mother, who suffers from asthma didn't have a specific puffer, Abdoul went out of his way to find a pharmacy and get one to her asap, we were extremely grateful to him for helping. Anything we needed he was extremely helpful. We will definitely be back and definitely be using Serengeti Clarity again and again.
