An unforgettable experience
I first contacted Fessal via safaribookings.com and wasn't sure where my friend and I wanted to go or for how long. Fessal was so patient, preparing different quotes for us until we found the ideal package. He stayed in contact with us from that time, throughout and answered any queries we had. He took care of everything. All we needed to do, was be ready to be picked up at the agreed time from our accommodation.
We visited a local maasai tribe on the first day, we had a full day safari in the Mikumi National Park on day 2, and travelled home early on day 3 for a well earned rest.
All of our meals were provided, as was bottled water, soft drinks, tea and coffee.
On the day of the safari, Fessal and Goddfrey took amazing care of us, answered all of our questions about the park and the animals and couldn't do enough to make sure we were comfortable, happy and having the time of our lives.
If you want an upbeat atmosphere, indepth knowledge of the animals and to have everything taken care of for you, please don't book anyone other than Imara Tours Zanzibar! You won't regret it.

One of the friendliest people I have ever met on my travels.
The experience was wonderful, we were able to observe three of the "big five" from a very close distance. We were also lucky enough to observe a lot of young animals. My favourite thing by far was the sighting of baby elephants.
But even beyond that, the safari was a wonderful experience that I will never forget.
The whole team was very nice and courteous. They were able to tell us a lot about the animals, the country and the history of the country.
All in all, it was a very successful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.
It was also great value for money.

An open-minded, courteous, polite and all in all a very nice person.
We had a wonderful experience.
After initially being a little exhausted from the journey, every bit of tiredness disappeared the moment we got into the National Park.
It took less than five minutes before we encountered the first animals.
From then on, it got better by the minute.
We saw everything we had hoped to see, and that combined with the wonderful nature and the extremely friendly and very informative team definitely made the experience unforgettable.
We enjoyed every second of this experience and would love to come back.

The best Zanzibar tour guide! Excellent experience guaranteed with them!
We did 2 days at Mikumi Park, it was the best experience of our lives!
Fessal and Godfrey have excellent energy, they are very happy, that creates a great atmosphere! They made us feel good at all times, they informed us about all the animals, cultures, and many other things.
They are professional and very responsible people.
Everything was perfect! I'm not used to doing reviews but this guide deserves it.
I recommend this agency 100%.
Hakuna matata! :)

Kind, attentive, reliable, easy communication.
We did a 2 nights/3 days Safari tour in Mikumi park. It was such an amazing experience! We were lucky to see the Tanzanian "Big 5" riding through the park, making longer stops wherever we wished to. We also had the chance to visit a Maasai village the first afternoon, learning about traditions and rituals and how life looks like for members of the community in today's time and society.
Fessal did a great organisation and, together with his colleagues, made us feel very welcomed, safe and shared interesting insights and information. The car ride to Mikumi from Daressalaam was very comfortable, accommodation at Bastian lodge just outside the national park was great, too.
Definitely a tour guide to recommend. Asante sana!

Strong communication and well organized
Fessal was great to communicate with and easy to arrange all of the details ahead of time. He and his team made us feel safe and were incredibly accommodating with everything we wanted which as a group of three young women traveling through Tanzania for the first time was especially important to us. I can highly recommend Fessal to anyone else - if coming to Mikumi just make sure you stay in the Bastian Lodge. The first night there was a mix up and we were in the lodge that was not very nice. The Bastian Lodge was amazing though! Thanks Fessal for the experience of a lifetime!

Best customer service ever
This is the best customer service I ever had. Everything was made according to our wish. We felt safe all the time ( even next to a lion) 😀. At any point we had 2 guides/ drivers with us. Both Masai village and Mikumi safari were amazing. In Masai village we were main guests and in safari we saw all animals really close. Guide is professional and accommodated all our wishes. Great value for money paid. Guide always tried to make us happy and we have recieved so many info on history and biology. Very well guided private tour. I will always reach out to Imara when I am in this part of Africa.
Thank you once again.
Hakuna matata!!!

Amazing, friendly and welcoming!
We arranged a second tour with Imara Tours after a wonderful day in Stone Town and Prison Island. We then booked very easily a few days later to go to Mnemba - snorkelling in the morning!
Our guide Fessal was great at communicating the details and clear with everything that the tour would entail. He very kindly sourced everything we needed for the day.
Everyone we met throughout the day who worked with Fessal (the taxi driver and the boat captain) was lovely! Everyone was very friendly.
We were shown the best areas to see the fish and felt very safe at all times (this was my first time snorkelling!).
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Zanzibar - the service was just as wonderful the 2nd time around.
Thank you to Imara and Fessal for making our holiday very memorable and special.
