A custom luxury safari in East Africa, drafted from a blank page by a Nairobi-based design team. Tell us your story below and a senior designer will craft a private itinerary — hand-picked lodges, private guides and unforgettable moments across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda & Rwanda.
Five quick steps. Your progress saves automatically, so you can pause and pick up where you left off.
It shapes the lodges, pace and private touches we design around you.
A custom luxury safari is a fully private, tailor-made journey designed around you — not a fixed package. You share your dates, interests, party size and budget; a senior safari designer drafts a bespoke itinerary with hand-picked lodges, private guides and routing across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. At Imara Africa Safaris, planning starts with our free five-step planner above; a designer replies personally within hours with an all-inclusive proposal you refine together before we confirm and support you 24/7 on the ground.
Use the planner above to tell us your occasion, destinations, dates and the standard you have in mind. It takes about two minutes.
A senior safari designer hand-crafts a tailor-made itinerary — securing the right camps, private guides and routing for your exact dates.
We share a beautifully presented proposal within hours, then fine-tune every detail with you until it's perfect.
We confirm, protect your booking and look after you on the ground 24/7 — from the first transfer to the final sundowner.
No off-the-shelf packages. Every itinerary is drafted from a blank page around your interests, pace and budget.
Access to East Africa's finest properties and exclusive-use villas — chosen for you, not for a brochure.
Your own expert guide and 4x4 throughout, plus bush flights and helicopter transfers where they earn their place.
A single, named safari designer owns your trip — and a 24/7 concierge supports you for every moment on safari.
A bespoke luxury safari — sometimes called a custom, tailor-made or private safari — is built from a blank page around your occasion, pace and budget. Unlike a group departure or fixed brochure itinerary, every element is chosen for you: the conservancies and national parks, the lodges and tented camps, the private guide and 4×4, bush flights, beach extensions and signature experiences from hot-air balloons to gorilla trekking.
East Africa is uniquely suited to this style of travel. In Kenya, private Mara conservancies deliver big-cat action with capped vehicle numbers, night drives and walking; Laikipia offers rhino, horse safaris and exclusive-use houses. Tanzania pairs the endless Serengeti and Ngorongoro with the wild south (Ruaha, Nyerere) and chimpanzee forests at Mahale. Uganda and Rwanda add mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, often combined seamlessly with classic game viewing in a single, privately routed journey.
The best bespoke itineraries balance wildlife, logistics and comfort. We match season to destination — for example Mara and Serengeti migration months, gorilla trekking in the dry windows, and green-season value when camps are quieter. Light-aircraft hops replace long drives; private guides mean you set the pace; and a single named designer owns your trip from first brief to final sundowner, backed by a Nairobi-based team on the ground 24/7.
Imara Africa Safaris is a KATO bonded and TRA licensed operator based in Nairobi. We design hundreds of private safaris each year for honeymoons, families, milestone celebrations and discerning travellers who want space, authenticity and honest pricing — with every proposal itemised so you know exactly what you are booking.

Designing a bespoke safari demands first-hand knowledge — which camps suit which season, which conservancies allow walking, how gorilla permits align with savannah routing, and where light-aircraft schedules actually work. As a Nairobi-based, KATO bonded and TRA licensed operator, we vet every property and guide personally rather than selling from a brochure.
Your proposal is prepared by a named senior safari designer, itemised and all-inclusive so there are no surprises. While you travel, our in-country team is available 24/7 — for flight changes, medical support or simply moving a sundowner to the perfect kopje.
Hand-crafted packages — every day, camp and flight adjusted to your brief.
