Imara Africa Safaris Bewertungen 

We booked a 10-day Kenya safari with Imara, and it turned out to be one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made.

Our itinerary covered Amboseli National Park, Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Giraffe Centre, Maasai Mara, and even included a visit to a Maasai village. From start to finish, Imara handled everything seamlessly—accommodation, food, park entry fees, and logistics were all taken care of with zero errors or last-minute surprises.

We had reached out to multiple tour operators before finalizing our trip, and Imara offered the most competitive pricing with complete transparency. There were absolutely no hidden costs, which gave us a lot of confidence. A special mention to Wendy, who was incredibly responsive, patient, and accommodating. She answered all our queries promptly and incorporated multiple itinerary changes until we were fully satisfied before confirming the booking.

At the start of the trip, the Imara team personally met us at our hotel and gave us a detailed briefing about the itinerary, game drives, and what to expect—this set a very professional and reassuring tone. After we made the advance payment, they took a couple of days to complete all bookings and shared the vouchers as promised. Everything was smooth and well-organized.

Now, coming to our guide—Anthony. Wow. He was simply brilliant. A joyful, warm, and extremely knowledgeable person, Anthony made the safari truly unforgettable. He kept us engaged throughout the journey with fascinating stories and detailed explanations about the animals and the parks.

On the very first day, he confidently promised that we would see the Big 5 in Maasai Mara —and incredibly, we spotted all of them on the first day itself! Not only that, we also saw the Ugly 5, and thanks to Anthony’s strong network with other guides, we were able to spot almost all animals in the park.

Anthony has an exceptional understanding of the parks and animal behavior. All we had to do was trust his instincts—whether it was starting very early in the morning, going for full-day game drives, or splitting the drives into two sessions. He also planned the drives based on the animals we wanted to see, which made the experience even more personalized. Whenever we requested stops for photography or animal sightings, he was more than happy to oblige. His driving was safe, smooth, and very professional.

Overall, this safari exceeded all our expectations. Imara delivers exactly what they promise—and more. I would highly recommend Imara to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. You’ll be in excellent hands.

We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience, made even more special because we were travelling with our young boys, and every detail was planned so thoughtfully around our family’s needs.
From the very start, Wendy was incredible. She wasn’t just preparing a quote — she carefully designed a travel plan that worked perfectly for us as a family. She was extremely patient, helped us explore the best possible options, and made sure the itinerary balanced adventure, comfort, and travel time so it was enjoyable for the kids as well. Throughout the entire trip, she stayed in constant touch, checked in on us regularly, and even helped me with souvenir purchases. When we arrived, Wendy personally came to greet us at the airport with the most beautiful souvenirs — such a warm, personal touch that immediately made us feel looked after.
Our guide, Patrick, was outstanding. He stayed with us for all 6 days and was simply amazing with the kids — calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He made every game drive exciting and educational, always ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and in the best locations for wildlife sightings. He truly became part of our journey.
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and each destination flowed seamlessly into the next. The pacing, lodge choices, and activities were perfectly planned, especially considering we were travelling with children. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the experience as a family.
This safari exceeded all our expectations — personal, professional, and exceptionally well planned. A heartfelt thank you to Wendy and Patrick for creating such a memorable, stress-free, and magical experience for our family. We will treasure these memories forever and would highly recommend them to anyone, especially families travelling with young children. 🦁🌍✨

Imara Safaris made our trip seamless and effortless. We are just home from a 2 week trip in Kenya and could not fault their service. I emailed with a list of things I wanted from our trip and Wendy put together an amazing itinary for us. There were a couple of extra things I asked to add on before fully confirming my trip and nothing was a problem for her. Their communication was fantastic from start to finish, ensuring to check in a few times, through WhatsApp, during our trip to ensure everything was going smoothly and that we were happy.

We had so many lovely little surprises during the trip which really made it feel special and like a "honeymoon" rather than just a holiday. It was also my husband's birthday while we were there and Wendy organised a cake and some traditional dancing for him to mark the occasion.

Simon, our driver was super knowledgeable and a really great guy to spend time with. Always had a smile and happy to help. The jeep was comfortable with plenty of space for us (there were 6 seats in the back and only 2 of us), a pop top for amazing game viewing and photography and charging ports and WiFi throughout the drives.

On our last day Wendy, the company director Lewis and the lovely transfer driver Edward picked us up from our flight back from Diani beach and spent lunch with us before we caught our international flight, which I thought was a really nice touch and they were so keen to hear how we got on.

I should also mention that the price was very reasonable, and after giving Wendy my budget she created a plan to suit that.

I can't thank Imara Safaris enough for organising this holiday of a lifetime. I have already recommended them to a few friends and will continue to do so as they were fantastic to deal with. We hope we can visit Kenya again and I would not hesitate in booking them again. Thank you so much!

Imara Africa organized the trip of a lifetime to Kenya. From start to finish, everything was flawless. They designed a fully custom package, and even with a -9 hour time difference, they answered our calls at 2:00 AM—true dedication and outstanding service.

From our arrival at Nairobi Airport, we were picked up in a private car, and the entire journey felt smooth, premium, and stress-free with every detail perfectly planned.

A special thank you to Simon, our amazing guide throughout the trip—his knowledge, passion, and care made the experience unforgettable. At Hell’s Gate, Leki added another highlight with his fantastic guiding.

Absolutely the best team and best experience we could have asked for. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Imara Africa Safaris. Everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Communication with Wendy and Lewis was excellent, and the whole team worked seamlessly together. A special mention goes to our driver Simon, who not only drove us safely everywhere but also enriched our journey with fascinating insights about the wildlife and life in Africa.

The price was very reasonable and, compared to experiences we've had, truly excellent value for money.

The highlight was the amazing tailor-made wedding they organized for us directly on the safari—truly the cherry on top. It was our first time in Kenya, but definitely not our last, and we are already planning another trip with Imara Africa Safaris to Tanzania and Uganda.

If you want a hassle-free, authentic safari experience, don’t hesitate to book with Imara Africa Safaris. Vacation with Imara Africa Safaris means Hakuna Matata—no worries, just amazing memories.

Our trip through Kenya with Imara was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, everything was perfectly planned, flawlessly executed, and genuinely personal. Every transfer was smooth, every detail taken care of — we never had to think about logistics once.

The lodges they picked were spot-on — each one matched exactly what we wanted, from the Nairobi stay to the safari camps and finally the stunning beach resort. The safari itself was phenomenal. Our guide and driver, Patrick, was outstanding — knowledgeable, patient, funny, and clearly passionate about what he does. Thanks to him, we saw and learned far more than we ever expected.

Imara also surprised us with moments we’ll never forget — like a completely private sundowner deep in the Mara, complete with a chef, bar setup, and a Maasai dance celebration just for us. It felt surreal — like something out of a film.

In Nairobi, Edward was an excellent guide — engaging, insightful, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He even introduced us to a brilliant local spot for the best grilled fish imaginable.

We travel often, but this experience stands out as one of the most thoughtful and well-crafted trips we’ve ever taken. Imara didn’t just plan a vacation — they created memories we’ll talk about for a lifetime.

Couldn’t recommend them more highly. We’ll absolutely be back!

I just loved everything! Lewis and his team made sure we had an amazing experience! Patrick was our driver and guide, and he went out of his way to make sure we had the best views of the animals. We’ll definitely be back soon! Don’t hesitate—book with Imara Africa Safari!

It was a very good experience, enjoyed every day!
Thanks to our guide Edward and the whole team.

We did our first complete Safari Tour with Imara Safari Tours and it was an exceptional experience throughout. Starting from the smooth immigration process and the early morning pick up from the airport to the once in a lifetime experience of all the safari parks in Kenya, it was an experience which cannot be compared. MASAI MARA & AMBOSELLI were the best.

A special mention to WENDY who organized our whole trip hassle free and also for the surprises.

A special thank you to our tour guide ANTHONY for showing us everything we expected to see before landing here. His experience and patience helped us see all the BIG 5 really close and all the other animals listed on our checklist.

Thank you IMARA and Anthony.

The "Lakes & Plains of Kenya Safari" offered by Imara Africa Safaris stands out not only for its breathtaking destinations but also for the high level of service and attention to detail provided by the team. Under the leadership of Lewis, every aspect of the safari is meticulously planned to ensure guests have a seamless and enriching experience.

From the moment you set foot in Nairobi, you are taken care of by a team of professionals. Simon, the driver, plays a pivotal role in this journey. With his deep knowledge of the Kenyan terrain and wildlife habits, Simon ensures that travel between the diverse ecosystems—from the shadow of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli National Park to the vibrant landscapes of the Masai Mara—is smooth and enlightening. His ability to spot wildlife and position the safari vehicle for the best views and photography opportunities enhances the overall experience dramatically.

Each day is thoughtfully planned to offer a variety of activities, such as game drives during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset when wildlife is most active, cultural visits to Maasai villages where you can learn about traditional Maasai life, and optional balloon safaris that provide stunning aerial views of the sprawling savannah below.

The accommodations selected for this safari are nothing short of spectacular. Each lodge and camp provides comfort and luxury in the heart of the wilderness, allowing for moments of relaxation and reflection after exhilarating days spent exploring. From the Amboseli Sopa Lodge with its views of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Enkorok Mara Camp in the Masai Mara, each stay is tailored to enhance the natural beauty and unique atmosphere of its location.

Lewis and his team's commitment to excellence is evident in every interaction, from the warm welcomes upon arrival at each new destination to the detailed briefings that prepare you for the adventures ahead. Their expertise not only makes guests feel safe but also enriches their understanding of the complex ecosystems and cultural heritage of Kenya.

This safari is more than just a trip; it's a comprehensive immersion into the beauty and diversity of Kenya, crafted by a team who truly cares about delivering an unforgettable experience. Whether you are a first-time visitor to Africa or a seasoned traveler, the "Lakes & Plains of Kenya Safari" promises to be a journey that will captivate your heart and soul.

My partner and I just returned from a 7-day adventure with Imara Africa Safaris across Kenya. I planned this trip as a surprise for his 40th — and thanks to Lewis and his outstanding team, it exceeded every expectation.

The entire journey was seamless. We were met near the airport with smiles, gifts, and a warm welcome. Joseph, our driver-guide, was a standout — professional, funny, and deeply knowledgeable.

What blew us away were the personal touches: birthday cakes at two separate locations, and a hot air balloon ride at sunrise over the Maasai Mara that felt like a dream.

We’ll forever cherish this experience. Imara Africa Safaris – thank you. You’ve got lifelong fans in us.

I organised a school trip with a group of 17 students with Imara Afrika Safaris and it was such a wonderfull week !
Wendy, Lewis and Yan were very welcoming and professional all along the trip, they always made sure that everything was going as we wanted and made changes if we needed to.
We did some camping wich was so fun and also stayed in 2 amazing and comfortable lodges. The food was really nice, we were in an overlander truck that allowed us to always stay together and made the driving enjoyable ! They also organised a day with overlanders in masai Mara so that we have the full safari experience.

When organising this trip I had so many options of safari tour operators and I'm am glad that I chose to go with Wendy and Lewis, I would defenetly recommend Imara Afrika safaris !

Thanks again for this amazing experience !

Mia and the GPN students

Great safari tour with professional driver (Simon). Everything was organised upfront and the trip was stress free.

The driver knew very well all the parks and how to best spot the wildlife, while providing interesting insights yet respecting the animals.

Definitely recommended!

With the Imara Africa team we were able to see, feel and enjoy the real Africa. We got involved in Kenya, even a week after our return our minds and hearts remained there.
Amazing game drive with Patrick and Lewis!
We have unforgettable stay in Kenya!
Thank you Imara!!!

We arranged our safari with Lewis and Imara Africa via WhatsApp where Lewis sent me lots of links for various places, helped me choose dates, pick up and drop off places etc.



We decided on a pick up from our hotel in Nairobi where all of the staff met us with the private vehicle and our driver James. We drove to Amboseli National Park where we stayed for 1 night at the Elewana Tortilis Camp with food and drink included. The drive into the park itself was amazing and we saw lots of animals. We then had another safari drive later in the afternoon.



The following morning we drove to Tsavo West and Salt Lick Lodge where we were staying for 2 nights and again a game drive on the way in and another one in the afternoon.



On the second day we had a full day game drive in Tsavo East and the following morning James drove us to Mombasa where we were flying to Zanzibar.



James was an amazing driver and we saw all of the big 5 while we were there. He made sure we had plenty of water in the truck and got us to each place safely. Lewis of course made sure everything was arranged in advance so checking in was smooth and our accommodation was amazing!



I will be planning another safari for the Masai Mara and I have no hesitation in using Imara Africa Safaris.

Luis, Patrick, and Ian were absolutely flawless during our time with them. They made us feel like family from the beginning, and were always willing to go above and beyond to accommodate any needs or questions we may have had. We were able to see so many animals in the two parks we visited, and when it was allowed, we had opportunities to get quite close to the animals to just be able to admire them and get amazing photos.

Thank you so much to you three for making this experience for my family and I unforgettable. Imara Africa Safaris has my fully recommendation, don't look any further, and just book with them!
