We are leaving with full hearts and full bellies, which demonstrates the level of care and attention we have been shown. While the game viewing stirs excitement and the tented accommodations are so regal that you forget you’re in a tent, those two entities are really just a bonus because the very heart of Ishara is the Ishara family; such a spectacular, warm, authentic, personable, loving and professional group of people — people who love their culture and live to celebrate it — who have truly made us feel like we are a part of. Never did we anticipate such special care and such wonderful connections. The property is visually stunning, the culinary program is absolutely divine and the spa nestled among the trees is one of the most relaxing places you can be. Until the day we return, we carry the fondest of memories and beaded gifts we already treasure that will remind us daily of spectacular Ishara.

He could always deliver new wildlife encounters when everywhere appeared empty. He was always good fun, and a pleasure to be with. The backroom team, chefs, kitchen staff, room cleaners and the guards who protected us from the wildlife all deserve the highest praise. We cannot thank Assumpter enough for the kindness she has shown us over the last five days. Her ready smile was a joy. To the other team members we have had the pleasure to meet, we say “au revoir” until we meet again.

I believe, and Lora and I agree, Ishara Mara operates with authenticity and above all LOVE! We love you too! Thank you so very much.
