Flexible itinerary planning with an excellent experience
The few drivers who were able to adapt to my needs were very responsive, the experience was good, the drivers were friendly and conscientious, and the driving skills were excellent. The 4×4 Land Cruiser had very good off-road capabilities. The seats in the vehicles in Masai Mara were very comfortable, while those in Amboseli were a bit worse. I hope they will also be replaced. The camp rooms in Masai Mara did not have WIFI, which was very inconvenient. I hope the configuration can be upgraded. In short, I saw almost all the expected scenery and it was very worthwhile.

Professionals in every aspect. Amazing customer care. I highly recommend Lavida Africa Safaris
They promptly picked us from entebbe airport. Then we went to western uganda for Gorilla Tracking. Best tour guide ever. They helped us book the hotels and everything else. They are highly reliable. The prices are affordable. We had alot of fun. Looking forward to the next trip where we will be going to visit Rwanda using Lavida Africa Safaris.

7 days Amboseli/Naivasha/Maisa Mara private in 4x4 jeep
My family and I enjoyed an incredible safari journey across three iconic spots in Kenya: Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara. Our knowledgeable guide Jeff accompanied us the whole trip and brought us countless unforgettable wildlife encounters.
We witnessed breathtaking wild hunting scenes: cheetahs chasing and preying on wildebeest, prides of lions coordinating group hunts, and even a lion pack feasting on a buffalo they had taken down. We spotted rare black rhinos in the Maasai Mara, plus a leopard perched high up a tree eating its gazelle prey. Besides these dramatic predator moments, we also saw massive herds of elephants, tall giraffes, lazy hippos resting by the water, and dozens of vibrant bird species everywhere we went.
Our guide Jeff always positioned our safari vehicle at the perfect viewing spot every single time, letting us observe all these magnificent wild animals up close and take plenty of amazing photos. Every sighting felt exclusive and vivid.
We checked in each accommodation smoothly with delicious meals.
This safari adventure is truly one of the most memorable trips our family has ever had.

They were responsive via email and chill.
We have had an amazing experience, seeing all the animals at Masai Mara and Nakuru! It really was incredible. Our driver was very experienced and knowledgeable about all the animals. The food was good and the staff people were wonderful.

Amazing, safe, and funny
Chris Gorilla Boy was amazing driver and very knowledgeable about Gorillas and the country. Gorilla Trekking in Uganda was a memorable experience. I loved that they give us a certificate after we completed the Trekking. The tour guides made sure all Gorillas and humans were safe. No animal abuse and people had to maintain a safe distance. We also get to take a lot of pictures.

Review about Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve by William F Redshaw
private sanctuary but bounded openly with Kruger so the animals can roam freely in and out of sanctuary. Big 5 all there and only a few viewing vehicles on the sanctuary all with your personal guide and tracker. Food and hosts and staff were all excellent.

Mt Kenya, Chogoria route to Lenana Pt
Beautiful views, highly recommend. Challenging climb and adequate altitude acclimatization recommended. Consider private transport from Nairobi as shared public transport can be challenging if not accustomed. Really worth it, such a beautiful place!

Sister Trip - A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience!!
Our trip through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Eyasi was nothing short of extraordinary!
As two sisters traveling from Colombia, we'll be honest, we were a little nervous about venturing so far and navigating a destination we didn't know well, especially with an operator that had good reviews but fewer reviews that other operators. But Imani put those fears to rest almost immediately. Their quick communication and seamless execution from the very first contact made us feel safe, informed, and genuinely taken care of every step of the way.
Manager Mike was always available, responsive, and attentive, the kind of support that gives you real peace of mind when you're traveling far from home. Our guide and driver Julius was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly dedicated to making sure we spotted as much wildlife as possible. We were thrilled to complete the Big Five, and Julius played a huge part in making that happen.
The lodges were honestly the highlight of the trip. Every single one was breathtaking, but Escarpment Luxury Lodge stood in a class of its own, we were even upgraded to a better room, which made an already incredible stay feel truly special. The food throughout the entire trip was delicious and the level of service was first-class at every stop.
Overall, Imani Excursions delivered a safari that exceeded every expectation. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone dreaming of Tanzania.

Flexible, quick response, so helpful and welcoming, patient
We planned this trip very last minute (only 2-3 weeks before we were leaving!) Brenda helped us create several different itineraries in just a few days, talked with us several times via zoom. She adjusted the itineraries a few times rapidly as we learned about our options. She helped me through the payment process, provided detailed information about visas, advised about packing, helped arrange a hotel for the night after our trip ended when we were having trouble processing payment. Despite the time difference she responded very quickly to questions. Our guide Ben was very experienced and patient, never rushed us when we were watching animals. He was also following communication from other guides so we could also see so many animals. Seeing the migration in western Serengeti was amazing. I would have loved to meet Brenda, but we did happen to get to meet Kakasi who founded the company (along with Brenda) and he is also an amazing human! They truly do their best to be sure you have the best experience. We did a 10 day trip, friends told us it was longer than needed, but I could have spent more time out there. We visited Tarangiri, central Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, western Serengeti, Arusha National Park (did a canoe safari), and a day in Arusha. Most of our time was safari, but we also had an amazing experience visiting a small village and spending some time in Arusha . Sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous. Every day was EPIC. Definitely one of the best trips we have ever taken and spent time with some of the nicest people we have ever met. We are very grateful for Brenda, Kakasi and their team.
