Outstanding Safari Experience from Start to Finish!
Booking & Welcome: Super responsive team esp. Wendy who answered all questions and made it smooth months in advance, warm airport greeting, and thoughtful welcome gifts/goodies bag.
Logistics & Vehicles: Flawless planning with clean, comfortable, and reliable safari vehicles for long drives. Vehicles had wifi, refrigerator and charging ports and rightly so as we spent most time in them.
Expert Guiding: Incredible wildlife tracking inc. Big 5 (yes leopard too), patience, and deep knowledge shared by the guide throughout the journey. Simon, Patrick and Simon were thoroughly professional and equally entertaining.
Accommodations: Wonderful lodge selections that made the park stays deeply immersive and comfortable. Maisha Sweetwaters in Ol Pejeta was supreme and highly recommended.

Fantastic Safari Experience in Kenya
My buddy and I has two incredible experiences in Maasai Mara and Amboseli with iMara Africa Safaris. We had two drivers/guides named Simon (one at each park) that did an amazing job showing us both parks. Their trucks and the accommodations were both spectacular and we even had WiFi inside the Land Cruiser on the second leg of our safari. Even though we booked this through one of their partners (see separate review), I would highly recommend booking your safari with iMara.
허니문으로 사파리를 선택했는데, 허니문을 위한 꽃다발과 모자를 선물 받았습니당ㅎㅎ 센스 넘치는 선생님들 👍🏻
그리고, 우리 베스트 드라이버 카리스 선생님!! 정말 최고였습니다! 아직도 감동에서 벗어나지 못하는 중임!! 사파리 투어 중 장염에 걸려 사경을 헤멨는데 그는 지체 없이 나를 인근의 시설 좋은 병원에 데려가주고 투어 중간중간 나의 건강을 계속 세심하게 체크해주었습니다🥲 덕분에 동물들도 많이 보고 건강하게 투어를 마무리 할 수 있었습니다!
한국인 후기가 많이 없어서 괜찮나 싶었는데, 이걸 보는 한국인이 있다면, 믿고 선택하도록!! 대추천입니다!!!🤍

We started planning our safari about a year in advance. Wendy and Lewis sent lots of information and were incredibly helpful. They were very patient and accommodating as we worked out whether a family member could travel with us due to health restrictions.
At times we had to push for information, but this may reflect the difference between British and Kenyan attitudes to travel!
On arrival we were met by Wendy, Lewis and their full team bearing gifts,and then introduced to our guide Edward. Edward was fantastic throughout he trip, adapting the trip to suit our interests - for example on our visit to Lake Elementitia, knowing members of our group were particularly interested in birds he took us to a section of the lake where the birds were particularly active. He was always in the know about what was happening with animals in the park and helped us to spot so much!
The accommodation was all lovely, comfortable and welcoming. A few days at the beach was just what we needed to relax after our adventure!
The internal flight back to Nairobi caused a little confusion - we were quite panicked about arriving at the airport barely 45 minutes before our flight - but we were not the last to check in! Check details for your luggage if you have flights.
We travelled about 1200 miles over the course of the safari, and Edward never looked at a sat nav once! Finding us washrooms and refreshments where needed as well as the well stocked water supply. The travel is tiring but well worth it for the sights and experiences. Thanks to Edwards network of guides we saw so much!
Tips - although we paid for the safari and tips in dollars, shillings were generally more useful to us.
Food was lovely and plentiful, even as a vegetarian. Many places checked whether I was happy with what was on offer.
Get used to the idea of bush toilets! When using public restrooms toilet roll is sometimes outside the cubicles. We put a roll in our travel bag and we're grateful for it.
Expect to pay for water with meals at some places. It's not expensive but not everywhere included this.

***Ultimate African Safari Experience***
Our 5-day safari with Imara Africa Safaris was amazing, beginning with a warm welcome and thoughtful gifts from the team in Nairobi. They planned everything perfectly, providing a clean, comfortable safari vehicle and seamless logistics from start to finish. We spent three incredible days in the Masai Mara staying at Zebra Plains Mara Camp, which was absolutely outstanding with its spotless rooms and delicious food. We then spent one night at Osotua Luxury Resort in Lake Naivasha, which was just okay in terms of the stay, featured limited food options, and is best suited for just a single night. The ultimate star of our trip was our guide, Simon; his patience, dedication, and incredible tracking skills exceeded all our expectations and gave us the best possible wildlife viewing. I would highly recommend Imara's Africa Safaris if you are planning to visit the Masai Mara, Lake Navaisha, Hells Gate national park.

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.
