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.

We have just returned from an incredible safari organised by Imara African Safaris, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Wendy was absolutely fantastic. This trip was particularly meaningful to me because my dad visited Salt Lick Safari Lodge over 25 years ago and sadly passed away last year. Returning there was something I had always hoped to do in his memory, and Wendy went above and beyond to make sure every detail was exactly as I wanted it. Her care, attention, and understanding made the experience even more special than I could have imagined. One of the things that immediately stood out 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. It made us feel genuinely valued as guests and showed how much they care about providing an exceptional experience from day one. Wendy also worked closely with my partner, who is now my fiancé, to help plan a truly unforgettable engagement during our trip. The proposal was perfectly organised and such a special moment for us both. As an extra touch, the team even created an engagement video for us to keep as a lifelong memory, which was incredibly thoughtful and something we will always treasure. The entire trip was seamless from start to finish, with excellent organisation, communication, and accommodation throughout. A special mention must also go to our guide, Edward. He was outstanding. His knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and 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. His passion for what he does shone through every day and made our safari experience unforgettable. Thanks to Wendy, Edward, and the whole team at Imara African Safaris, we created memories that will stay with us forever. This was much more than just a holiday—it was a deeply personal journey, a chance to honour my dad’s memory, and the place where we got engaged. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, I would wholeheartedly recommend Imara African Safaris. They delivered a truly exceptional experience, and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. Thank you, Imara African Safaris, for giving us memories we will cherish forever.

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!
Had a great trip with Imara! Although we had decided to do the Kenya trip with just a months time, Imara ensured we got the best experience. Right from the airport pickup to the safaris, everything was top notch! They even arranged a cake and a singing for a birthday we were celebrating. Simon is truly one of the best guides Imara has! He ensured we were on time and showed the best spottings we could have seen. He also put in effort to ensure that we get the best pictures. He is very experienced and answered all the queries we had, and also explained the different animal behaviours. Our parents, especially, loved his companionship. Overall, great Kenya experience through Imara. They are super responsive and answered all our queries during the booking phase. They also incorporated our requirements and tailor made the itinerary. Would highly recommend Imara for Kenya trip.

How You'll Travel
Custom 4×4 Land Cruisers, open-sided game viewers and luxury transfers, purpose-built for the African bush.
Pop-up roof, twin fuel tanks, charging at every seat — a quick tour of how our vehicles are built for the bush.
Imara isn't a brand or a portal. It's a small Nairobi-based team led by people who guide the parks themselves.

Lewis Munuhe
Founder & Director · Nairobi
Karibu, and thank you for considering Imara.
When you send us a brief, you reach a Nairobi-based team — not a call centre, not a chatbot. I personally read every itinerary request and come back with thoughts within minutes, not days.
Imara was built by East-African guides, conservationists and naturalists who've spent decades inside the parks where you'll travel. Routes off the obvious circuit. Lodges chosen for character, not commission. Drivers who can read the dust at eighty metres.
If something on this page catches your eye — or you have only the rough sketch of a trip in mind — write to me directly. We'll come back with something honest, well-considered, and entirely yours.
Asante sana,
