An amazing experience with great tour guiding
I booked with Karis to go on a daytrip to Tarangire National Park. I have to say I had such a good day. The tourguide was even more excited than I was I think. So enthusiastic to share everything there was to see, even before we arrived at the park. Lots of knowledge on nature and its animals. The atmosphere was so relaxed and fun, that unfortunately the day was over before I knew it. The guide Kantona is your guy if you want to have an enjoyable and positive time.

An Unforgettable African Safari Experience!
An Unforgettable African Safari Experience!
Our safari was beyond our wildest dreams! From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless and unforgettable. A huge shoutout to our incredible guides—Saleem, Isa, and Fessal—whose expertise, passion, and warmth truly made this trip extraordinary.
Their knowledge of the wildlife and landscapes was unmatched. They ensured we saw everything from a pride of lions to a herd of elephants at Their stories and insights about the local ecosystem added so much depth to our adventure.
The accommodations were great. The hotel was close to the park and was very clean. Each day ended with stunning sunsets, delicious meals, and memories we’ll cherish forever.
If you’re considering a safari, Imara tours are the dream team to guide you through this once-in-a-lifetime journey. We can’t recommend them and this experience enough!
Big thank you to Saleem, Isa, and Fessal! 10/10 recommend

Incredible safari, great company to work with, and a brilliant driver Moses
Explorer Kenya organised a custom safari itinerary for me and my wife for our honeymoon, and the experience was nothing less than incredible. From the start, Robert was incredibly easy to work with, booking everything for us and making the process very simple. The safari itself was amazing, hitting many incredible spots around Kenya, and staying in beautiful and luxurious lodges and camps. It was one of our best life experiences. Our driver Moses was excellent - very friendly, knowledgeable of Kenya and animals, and was great at identifying exciting animal moments and when to exercise that little bit more patience to wait for them (we saw the big 5 within the first 2 days). He also did the entire 9 day safari drive around Kenya flawlessly without looking at a single map or GPS, showing his clear expertise and experience in being a safari driver. Overall I can highly recommend this company for your safaris, and Moses for your driver!

Incredible Safari Company
I went on a private safari tour with my husband for our honeymoon with Explorer Kenya and everything was amazing. The booking process with Robert was very easy, everything was sorted for us and the itinerary he chose was perfect (Nairobi, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli). He even added on a trip to an elephant orphanage for us and moved things around seamlessly when we requested. All of the lodges and camps booked were incredible in terms of location and facilities and all of the national parks and conservancies we visited had stunning scenery. We saw all of the Big 5 and many many more animals including cheetahs, a serval and lots of baby animals. Our guide, Moses, was amazing. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about animals as well as the geography and history of Kenya. He was clearly an expert guide and driver, driving us around Kenya without ever having to consult a map and helping us spot all of the animals within the parks. He also always checked that we were happy and comfortable and looked after us very well throughout our trip.

This trip to Tanzania, Africa helped change my life
I loved my volunteering experience with go volunteer Africa, I only wish I had volunteered for longer than just 3 weeks! It's left me wanting more and I’m already hoping to return.
I stayed in Arusha, with 2 other volunteers (younger than me) and this children support care project made me realize how blessed I was and how great it was to make an impact in the lives of other children, after raising my 2 children. I came home knowing that I truly made a difference in the lives of the children I was involved with.
The group leaders did a great job of keeping us informed of what was going on and I didn't feel out of the loop as some people might feel when starting on a new project. I was very involved with everything and my group leaders were there every step of the way to help the volunteers out.
If you are looking for a volunteer experience that is legitimate, sustainable and enjoyable all whilst making a truly valuable impact then look no further, than this organization.
I spent half my time supporting teaching at a children’s centre in a local Arusha township and the other half - a truly incredible project that supports grandmothers to provide after-school care, fun and food to children.
I learnt more than I could have imagined, not just about the culture and lifestyles of the communities, but also about the nature of volunteering abroad itself. It's about offering support whilst remaining completely sustainable, less about the hand outs and more about enabling and empowering others. This means that your impact is truly lasting and unforgettable.
At the children’s centre you will meet some very special children who will fall in love with you as soon as you walk in through the front door! Their squeals of joy and the songs they will teach you will buzz around your head forever. I spent most mornings reading stories, teaching English and supporting their play.
I do have a lot to share and I don’t think this space will be enough, all I can say, I recommend this wonderful organization for connecting me to the perfect volunteering experience. Although I am 54 and most of the other volunteers were young people, I enjoyed my time with everyone.

Very helpful and friendly tour organizers!
We had a tailored 7 days tour which included visiting 6 countries. While our main purpose was to see Gorilas and chimpanzees which was an absolutely amazing experience, we also had lots of opportunities to see much more - game drive, boat trip and etc. Aron and Dougalas have been very attentive to our needs and wishes and arranged everything very well. Given it is traveling in Africa which has it challenges with multiple border crossings and encountering different nationalities and cultures, they made our stay rather comfortable, safe and pleasant. We had an unfortunate experience and made lots of long lasting memories. Thank you both!

Very knowledgeable
Booking with this company was easy, and follow up was seamless. All operators were always on time. Our tour guide Lambs was quite knowledgeable and took his time to look for the animals, ensured we had a good view of the animals and allowed us sufficient time to take pictures. My group never felt rushed despite completing the tour in the required time frame. I would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to have this experience.

Worth it!
We went for the Mokoro in the Delta from Maun. It was a nice experience.
We had a walking tour and seeing the animals ( not inside a vehicle) it's really nice.
I recommend.
