Simply excellent!
Wow, we don’t even know where to begin to describe how wonderful Imani Excursions is. From the very first moment, right down to the last, they’ve been nothing but amazing. The Sales team was so responsive and helpful in helping us curate the best safari & Zanzibar experience to suit our wishes. They answered all of our questions and went out of their way to make suggestions that ended up enhancing our trip.
Next, our driver. We learned so much from him, and he made our wish of seeing a cheetah come true. Actually, he found us four (4!!!) cheetahs, one of which was still a baby. It was honestly a dream.
There are truly not enough words to praise Imani Excursions. Hopefully we’ll be fortunate enough in the future to visit Tanzania again, and when we do, we will absolutely book with them again!

Tribute to Imani, the best tour guide in Tanzania
I am very glad to have chosen Imani Excursions among all the travel agencies. They gave me the most concise and clear itinerary plan，and the most reasonable hotel quote，the fastest reply response, and the best experience within your budget. It’s really not easy to meet an agency which can understand you while traveling, but Imani Excursions did it.
Safari guides almost determine most of the experience of the trip. So i was very happy when I knew that Imani would be our tour guide, cause I had seen a lot of praise for him on the website, but the reality is far better than the reviews I saw. I must praise him as a gentleman, a family member, a teacher and a warm companion. He took the best care of us during the safari trip.
Imani has been in this industry for more than 16 years, his eyesight is much better than our telescope, he can always find out where the animals are before we do, even if the animal is far away. He is also very knowledgeable and knows about animals, roadside plants, and various birds, and the society and culture of Tanzania. Every question you ask, he has the answer.
He is also a highly skilled and intelligent driver, never let us get stuck in the mud, drive safely and quickly, and help us discover the best angles for photographing animals. When passing a vehicle stuck in the mud, he would stop to help them after asking for our opinion. You will see many guides along the safari. Compared with others, no matter how tired Imani is, he always full energy, keep smiling.What he talked about most during the trip was “no worries” and “take your time”. Imani is very flexible, he always has a good way to help us solve any temporary itineraries or problems we encounter.
Imani speaks both English and French very well, even our English is not very good, he always tries to explain it to us in different ways so that we finally understand. Thanks again for the wonderful time he brought us, I hope we can chat more with him next time when we meet. And I also want to thank another tour guide, Joshua, he is like our big brother, next time when we go to climb Kilimanjaro, I will look for him.
If you are wondering which agency to choose to start your safari trip, I must say it's Imani Excursions. I still have a lot of words of praise to say, but other people’s comments are never as good as your own personal experience.

He is an exceptional blend of expertise, passion, attentiveness, make the adventure unforgettable
This trip is perfect to embark on with like-minded friends, and having a reliable, knowledgeable, sharp-eyed (very important for spotting distant animals), gentlemanly, and humorous guide is crucial, as it significantly enhances the experience. lucky! we had imani, he is perfect. It truly was an unforgettable journey of a lifetime. btw, the condition of the hotel&tent is also super well, the food is excellent too, missing everything in this trip!

Fantastic! Incredible! It’s great value for money.
The journey they arranged was the best experience for me. From the superficial taste to the emotional shock, there was a sense of freshness every day and deepened our understanding of this place. It was we who had feelings for this place. I am very satisfied with the transportation, accommodation and itinerary, which may be quite different from the eating habits of Chinese people. , so remind Chinese people that they'd better bring some of their favorite food when they come. Thank you for Imani's sincere and kind service. I highly recommend it!

The tour operator, Mike is professional, understanding of tourist needs and very trustworthy
Travelling to Africa is expensive and so you want to ensure that you have the best experience possible and Imani did not disappoint. We booked our entire trip to Africa from Australia about a year out from visiting our trip included a bit of South Africa, Namibia and Tanzania. It's important to get in early because the lodges do book out.
Tanzania was the highlight, we loved every moment of our time in the Serengeti thanks to Imani Excursions.
Mike, the tour operator picked the best of lodges for us to stay in and our tour guide was very informative and made sure we saw all of the big five.
Be prepared, the roads in the Serengeti are not made so there was lots of bouncing around in the truck but when one of those beautiful animals came into view I forgot about the unpaved roads!
I would highly recommend Imani Excursions, everything was perfect for the 5 days we toured with them. A once in a lifetime experience!

Francis was the best tour guide we could have asked for!
From start to finish the imani excursion company was fantastic!
They were supportive from the initial booking all the way through to assisting us in booking the correct flights.
Once in country all bookings were straight forward and handled for us. Francis was phenomenal from the start and letting us know all the specifics of each animal and safari area we went to.
We felt safe the entire journey and all the resorts and hotels booked were to a very high standard!
Could not recommend enough and would definitely book again.

Wonderfully efficient and knowledgeable
Imani were fantastic from start to finish, it was our first trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar and we needed some guidance on how best to do our itinerary. Imani responded super quickly and came up with the perfect mix of safaris and beaches for us. Our guide David was brilliant, so relaxed and he knew everything there is to know. As well as being a very safe driver and all round lovely guy. The holiday was perfect, the places they chose for us to stay in were beautiful and we met such wonderful people everywhere.

Such a delight journey with Imani Excursions
It's been such a delightful journey and we are thankful to choose Imani Excursions as our tour agent.
On the first day, we are very excited to know that as found of this company Imani would be our guide for four of us. He has over 16 years over tourism and he is not just knowledgable on telling us anything about animals but also on Tanzania history etc. We were surprised to have welcome present(everyone has a mug with Imani company logo and our Chinese name on each mug/short celebration on our arrival with drinks/champions.
During the initial time we sent request to Imani company,Mike always replied us very promptly almost within 24hours and we got very fair offer after we compared with other companies(i sent our request to over 20tour companies).
Our trip was ultra-lux Safari one for total 7days(6nights) and started from Arusha-Tarangire-Ngorongoro-Centrel Serengeti-North Serengeti. We saw big five/ugly five and almost everything on wish list. Most exciting ones-Great Migration Crossing(4times within 2days).
Imani is very helpful and consideration on making us feel comfortable all the time. We were so lucky to have him and got our last chance for balloon Safari only with his effort to try to check with all options and we got our spot on balloon with last minute cancellation via Miracle Balloon Safari
We highly recommend anyone would travel with Imani Excurisons and definitely enjoy your stay at Tanzania

Our safari in Tanzania was unforgettable, thanks to Imani and their team.
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Imani Excursion, and I would highly recommend them! Our trip through Kenya and Tanzania, including Masai Mara (Kenya portion under their sister company), Northern and Central Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar, was amazing. Right from the start when we were enquiring from different tour agencies, Imani was one of fastest to response to our messages. Their prices were reasonable compared to the other quotes that we got back (but this also depends alot on the type of accommodation that you choose).
Imani, our guide and the mastermind behind this incredible journey, truly made our experience unforgettable. His passion for wildlife and deep knowledge of the regions added so much to our adventure. Not only did he know all the best spots for wildlife viewing, but his enthusiasm for sharing local culture and stories brought every destination to life. We managed to see all the animals we wanted to see, including the big 5 and the wildebeest migration across the river!
What impressed us even more was Imani's willingness to listen to our suggestions. We mentioned the idea of personalized water bottles and a simple pamphlet he could give his future guests, and he embraced it wholeheartedly. He just sent us a picture of the water bottles he had customise made (2 weeks later). It was great to see how that he actually took our feedback to heart and continuously strives to enhance the experience for his guests.
Overall, Imani Excursion exceeded all our expectations. If you're looking for a truly immersive safari experience with a dedicated guide, Imani is your go-to person. Thank you for making our honeymoon another unforgettable one.
