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.
