Experienced, with top notch customer service
Imara Africa Safaris truly made my Amboseli adventure a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we set foot in the park, the sight of elephants roaming freely against the iconic Mount Kilimanjaro took my breath away.
The expertise of our guide from Imara Africa Safaris elevated the safari, providing fascinating insights into the park's wildlife. It wasn't just about the elephants; we witnessed a diverse array of animals, each contributing to the park's vibrant ecosystem.
The final leg of our journey at Namanga was a testament to Imara Africa Safaris' commitment to excellence. The service was exceptional, and the value for money was outstanding. The accommodations were comfortable, and every detail was meticulously arranged, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience.
Imara Africa Safaris turned a safari into a memory that will stay with me forever.

Imara Africa Safaris delivers an outstanding safari experience that exceeds expectations. Highly recommended for those who want to discover the wonders of nature with unmatched comfort and expertise.

Excellent operator
The company picked us up right from the airport in a record time. The journey was so smooth and the with a professional tour operator and a comfortable car. We toured various parts of Kenya starting with Maasai mara, Naivasha and Samburu counties as per our plan. Our nights were uninterrupted as the hotels were secure and well maintained.

I appreciate what Steve did for my children which are aged 15,13,4 and 2. He made the whole 3 day experience a wonderful one, on the drive safari my 2 Yr old was restless so he had him on his lap for 5 mins in the reserve to calm him, when we pulled over by a giraffe family, My 13 Yr old who has adhd was in front with Steve and he called him his co-pilot. He pulled over several times for us to stretch our legs provided biscuits and sweets for the kids and even bought bananas on return journey for us all. This was my 3rd Safari and the best yet. Thank you Steve for the wonderful experience. Ps big kisses from all my kids.x

Amazing!
Going to keep this short and sweet: it was one of the best weeks i've ever had. Weather was perfect, saw The Big & Ugly 5, blasted Limp Bizkit over the country side and listen the stories about Kenya's history and of course, the animals from our wise and kind tour guide "ManuWolf". Rest of the time chilling at the pools and over eating at the buffets. Thanks guys for everything!

1st Safari and 1 I will treasure forever, I had the most amazing experience and will definately return to do another. We had a boat Safari on the 1st day, drive Safari on 2nd day and me and my girlfriend did a walk Safari on our last morning, our journey to Kinga Lodge was long but fun as there had been lots of rain so it was like a wild drive experience, our driver Steve had it all down to a fine art. A very experienced driver with an absolute perfect manner. Good job Steve. Next time can I try the wild roads lol.

Great holiday!
We had good contact with Lewis before our holiday. He organized our safari according to our wishes.
We were picked up at the airport by our guide David.
David showed us the parks and knew a lot about the animals. Along the way, on his own initiative, he showed us a beautiful waterfall and a coffee and tea plantation.
The accommodations and food were very good.

An amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Fantastic experience! My wife and I reviewed many available options and ultimately decided on the "12 Day Incredible Kenya & Tanzania combined wildlife safari."
We took it as a private tour (just the two of us and our guide), and it was a home run.
Throughout the trip, we visited Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangire, and Amboseli parks and saw Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Pumbas, Hippos, Gazelles, Lions, Cheetahs, Ostriches, Buffaloes, Leopards, Baboons, Elands, Elephants, Hyenas, Vervet Monkeys, and even a Monitor Lizard. We literally saw everything we had hoped to see and many things numerous times.
While we were in Kenya, Jacob was our guide, and he was awesome. He met us at the airport, took us to our nearby hotel for a day of rest (much needed after the long flights), and was with us throughout our time, providing insight, background, and information about the parks and animals. When we did not understand something, he clarified it in terms that we understood. Additionally, he is highly skilled at driving through the rough terrain of the parks (lots of soft, deep mud), so we never lost time due to being stuck in the mud, like many others did.
When we got to the Tanzania border, we met up with George, who took care of us during our times in the parks there. Like Jacob, he was a skilled driver and had a knack for finding the elusive animals (including the Leopard).
Both George and Jacob spoke English well, and they were there with us at each border crossing (from Kenya to Tanzania, then back to Kenya) to make sure things went smoothly. (Note: make sure you have your yellow International Vaccine Card that shows you've been vaccinated for Yellow Fever.)
For accommodations, we stayed in luxury tents (except the first hotel and the Rhino Lodge atop the rim of Ngorongoro Crater), and the tents were all comfortable with contained bathrooms that had hot/cold water. The tents ARE in the parks, so wildlife is all around, in a few, travel to/from your tents is only authorized with a Maasai warrior as your escort (they're awesome).
As a general comment, I'll say you should be prepared to be tired at the end of each day. This was a surprise to me, but something about the bouncing around in the safari vehicle all day is just tiring. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true.
Overall, the safari was pretty close to perfect. I cannot think of anything I'd change, and I hope to do it again in the future!
Provided a luxury trip and we’re very flexible in our changing plans
Ranger Buck to two different lodges for our group of seven. Both ledges were magical and it was nice to experience two different locations. Ranger Buck was very easy to work with and very helpful. They even had someone meet us at arrivals when we flew in internationally. We knew if we had an issue that we needed help with. They were there for us to contact and help us.

Great overall service and communication throughout
We did a four day three night tour to Masai Mara. Khalifa, our tour guide, was very energetic and charismatic and also knew the ins and outs of the park very well. We managed to see an abundance of animals and was satisfied. Khalifa even went the extra mile to return my phone to hotel after I had left it in the 4x4!
Maggie's communication was prompt throughout, the campsite accommodation was better than expected with a comfy bed and electricity during certain hours. Overall, definitely value for money and would recommend!
