Imara Africa Safaris

I had a wonderful experience with Imara Africa Safari! One of the things I appreciated most about this family-run business was the dedication and care they showed throughout the entire trip. From camp to camp and on every game drive, we were incredibly well taken care of. Not only did we get to see amazing wildlife, but we also learned so much along the way. Our questions were non-stop, and Lewis, our guide, and Patrick, our driver, never hesitated to respond with insight and enthusiasm. They were a joy to be around and made the long drives across Kenya both fun and memorable. I highly recommend booking with Imara Africa Safari if you're looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and well-organized safari experience.

I’m so glad to have booked with Imara for our wedding anniversary trip. They went above and beyond throughout the trip , starting with such a warm welcome by the entire team at the airport. Met Lewis and his lovely wife Wendy, we were gifted some goodies to be used during our safari. The team also went above and beyond on our arrival when our baggage was delayed and delivered them to us before we set out for our safari. Similarly, having such an experienced safari driver was a plus, Patrick has over 18 years of experience which was evident by the way he drove us as close to the animals as possible giving us the best view. He also gave us great knowledge about each animal when sighted. He was very friendly and accommodating when we asked for anything. And found the perfect balance of being informative without being overbearing which is a fine balance many drivers won’t have. Imara also planned some special surprises for us which made our trip even more memorable! We went for a more customised package thus covered Nairobi, Aberdare forest, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. They managed to meet all our accommodation choices unlike other Safari companies we came across. Would recommend them to anyone and looking forward to book with them in the future to cover other parts of Africa :) On the last day, we really wanted to try local food, the team went out of their way to take us to their local favourite spot. We were joined by Patrick, Lewis and Wendy for lunch which made it a wholesome experience.

Amazing experience, Lewis arranged everything the best for us Saw the big five , Anthony Patrick and one more guy ,were amazing , they went beyond the safari time , and took the risk to show us the last movement group lions ,

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.

An Unforgettable Safari for My Partner’s 40th – Thank You, Imara Africa Safaris! I surprised my partner with a 7-day safari for his 40th birthday, and Imara Africa Safaris made it a celebration we’ll never forget. From the moment we landed, Lewis and his incredible team were there to welcome us — complete with safari hats, water bottles, and the warmest Kenyan hospitality. Every detail of the trip was beautifully thought out. Joseph, our guide and driver, is a legend! His knowledge, energy, and enthusiasm made every game drive an experience in itself. The hot air balloon ride across the Maasai Mara? Simply magical. To top it all off, Lewis arranged birthday cakes at multiple lodges! Truly above and beyond. If you’re thinking about a safari — stop thinking. Book with Imara. You won’t regret it.

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

Had an amazing experience booking with them, my finance being from Kenya requested them and I was not disappointed. We had guest with us and we wanted to ensure they had a good experience and our need was met. We enjoyed the company and our whole safari experience!

One of the most significant thing was that everything we wanted to see was present, we went to Amboseli National Park with my wife and our friends and we do not regret our visit. This was the best trip I’ve had this year.
