Super organization and very pleasant team !
We booked a 2-day, 1-night safari in Mikumi.
A driver picked us up from our hotel in Zanzibar at 5am and dropped us off at the port to catch the ferry. Fessal agreed to keep our heavy luggage in his office to make the trip lighter (thanks again). After a 1h30 crossing, another driver picked us up and dropped us off at Mikumi Park (5h drive). We stopped for lunch on the way.
We arrived in Mikumi at 2pm and spent the whole afternoon on safari until sunset at 6:30pm (one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen).
The next morning, we woke up at 6am for a safari lasting until 9am, followed by breakfast and the drive back to our hotel in Zanzibar.
It's a long trip, but well worth it!
We saw elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, impalas, wildebeest, beautiful birds, pumbas and lions!
The team is adorable, it was an incredible experience.
The Imara team did their utmost to make this safari unforgettable!
Thanks again to them!!!
They are very available, and advised us very well!

Once in a lifetime experience!!! INCREDIBLE!!
Fessal at Imara Tours was amazing! We have just finished 10 days in Zanzibar and just WOW!!!!
We booked the Safari at Mikumi with Fessal and he did not fail to find every animal we wished to see! Even if it meant waiting for a heard of elephants to cross the road, we waited and it happened right in front of our eyes! An unforgettable experience 🐘
We also booked many more trips with Fessal which were AMAZING!!! Anything we wanted to see/do he would make happen! He picked us up and dropped us off at the airport! Fessal was always on time and always had a cool box of water for us and fresh fruit on our boat trips!
He was always happy to take pictures and videos of us! We have some AMAZING picture memories we will cherish forever! Please see @isthatlouiser on instagram and TikTok to see just how amazing it was!
I would recommend using Imara Tours if you want to see all the beautiful sights of Zanzibar and have a smooth and worry free holiday.
Fessal, thank you so much for everything. You have made our holiday the best trip of our lives! We will never forget it 💕
See you one day soon my friend 🤗

He was amazing, fun, charismatic, a friend and most importantly safe and welcoming.
From the very first interaction, Imara Tours impressed us with their professionalism and attention to detail. Faisal, the leader of the team, handled all communications smoothly, ensuring every question was answered and every request was accommodated. His thoroughness made us feel confident and excited about the journey ahead.
Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Faisal and his incredible team, including Godfrey, who quickly became our go-to guide and friend. Godfrey’s passion for wildlife was contagious—he had an incredible knack for spotting animals and telling fascinating stories about them. Alongside Faisal and the other team members, he made sure every moment of the safari was packed with adventure and knowledge.
The safari itself was beyond our wildest expectations. From witnessing majestic lions in their natural habitat to watching elephants roam freely across the savannah, each day was an unforgettable experience. The vehicles were comfortable and perfectly suited for the terrain, and the accommodations offered a luxurious yet authentic feel. The entire team ensured that we were well taken care of, with thoughtful touches like refreshing drinks after a hot day of exploring or a surprise picnic in a scenic spot.
What truly stood out was the value for money. Imara Tours offers an exceptional experience without cutting any corners. The quality of service, the depth of knowledge shared by the guides, and the overall experience made us feel like we got so much more than we paid for.
Reliability is a cornerstone of Imara Tours. Everything went off without a hitch, from our arrival to the final farewell. We could fully relax and enjoy the experience, knowing that Faisal and his team had everything under control.
If you’re looking for a safari that combines adventure, education, and top-notch service, look no further than Imara Tours. Faisal, Godfrey, and the rest of the team turned our dream trip into a reality, and we can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommended!
This version emphasizes Faisal’s leadership and the strong contribution of Godfrey and the other team members. It also highlights the aspects travelers typically look for, making it a compelling review for potential customers.

So much fun and worth the money
Fessal was an absolute gem, kind, genuine, and incredibly reliable. Beyond the breathtaking wildlife, the highlight of our safari was getting to know Tanzania through his eyes. His deep knowledge and warm personality made every moment memorable. We were fortunate to witness lions, zebras, giraffes, and elephants. Truly an unforgettable experience! Thank you Fessal!

Incredible
The tour in itself was quite a positive experience. From taking a ferry to driving through the mainland, the visuals were stunning. The safari itself was amazing. I got to witness Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Zebras and many other animals in their natural habitats. The drive through Mikumi National park was amazing along with the information shared by the guide!

Imara Tour Safari trip - Best tour experience ever and wished that the rating system had more stars!
We are a family of 5 and our initial trip to Zanzibar was mostly to do a safari with the kids. We checked so many tour operators online but Imara Tour was by far the best deal and most accommodating. After reading all the great reviews, I decided to book our 2 days safari with Imara in the Mikumi park reserve. Fessal our tour operator, contacted us immediately and consulted us to design the best trip possible based on our requirements. Not knowing what to expect, with Fessal we were exchanging together using Whatsapp and managed to designed the perfect trip for us. Honestly, this trip was simply amazing and the best tour we ever experienced. Imara deliver way beyond our expectations and have no problem recommending them to anyone. Actually, I would even go as far as I wouldn't do this again unless it was with Imara tour, that's how good they are. Fessal is a young experienced tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, dynamic, well spoken and with great attention to details. He's clearly passionate about tourism and will do everything to ensure everything is perfect. A safari trip in Tanzania is not easy task but Fessal made it look easy and a great experience overall. Everything was so well organized and his ability to adapt to us was just impressive. We travelled from Zanzibar where the had organized a transfer directly from the hotel to the ferry in Stone Town. Once in Stone Town, Fessal was waiting for us and took care of everything from the ferry to the transport from Dar es Salaam to Mikumi National reserve. He constantly made sure to avoid any delays to ensure we could maximise out time at the park. He had organized a quick lunch half-way that was perfect for the occasion. We felt safe and in good hands at all time. The tour in Mikumi was absolutely amazing and worth the trip. Fessal designed the trip based on what animal we mostly wanted to see. But after a couple of days, we've managed to see everything we wanted and thanks to Imara efforts, this was way beyond expectation. They worked so hard to please us and making sure we had the best experience possible. Overnight, we stayed in a locale hotel in Mikumi (20 min drive) which managed to accommodate the 5 of us which is never easy. The rooms and service was great and accommodating. It included dinner and breakfast in the morning before round two. In the morning whilst driving towards the our second day tour, it was cold and would suggest to bring some warm clothes. However, Fessal again starting singing Jumbo Bwana song which lifted mood and making us completely foret about the cold. Our experience was so good, we decided to use Imara Tour for other tour trips in Zanzibar. We were so happy to see him again and had complete trust in him. We felt we had a great connection and is attention to details is just outstanding. Whilst the tour was possibly the most amazing tour we ever had, I strongly believe that Fessal was a huge part of that success and can now understand why they have so many great reviews. If you are planning to do a safari trip in Tanzania, look no further, Imara tour is certainly an amazing option to consider. Great value, amazing service and something to remember for the rest of your life. Good luck to you Imara Tour and wishing great success!

best tour operator in Zanzibar
We contracted 2 days private safari from Zanzibar to Mikumi park with Imara for a family of 5 persons and we had an amazing experience. Reservation was easy and Feisal provided clearly all necessary information in advance. He timely arranged pick up from hotel , ferry to Dar es Salam, comfortable van transportation to the park and a clean and spacious accommodation at Chamboo Village near the park. they even provided additional separated room for our daughter. At the safari Godfrey, the guide, show us in an open jeep all common zebras, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes,...and then he tried hard for lions until he spotted a lioness in the middle of the Savannah that we could see at very close distance and by ourselves. Thanks Godfrey !!!
If you are planning to do a either a tour in Zanzibar or a Safari my strong recommendation you do it with Imara. it is a local tour operator led by Feisal who was always very kind, helpful, responsible and well organised. Feisal, Many thanks for this !! Value for money is guaranteed. I doubt you can get more than this elsewhere.
