Ishara and Africa shall always be in our hearts
You have made us feel completely at home. The love, smiles and care you have given us will always be remembered.
Every one of the staff made us feel so special, we have travelled the world but have never experienced such warm, loving hospitality. Ishara and Africa shall always be in our hearts. We will see you guys again soon.

We look forward to our next visit
It is difficult to put one’s feelings into words unless you should be a poet. If we should be invited into heaven, it would be a sanctuary like this; surrounded by family that wants to please one another, all one’s needs provided before you had a need to ask. Long may it continue, and we look forward to our next visit.
Should anyone we know want to experience what we have in this short time, we will gladly guide them to this paradise – Ishara Masai Mara. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the memories. We came as strangers and left as family.

Ishara is unlike anything else
Thanks for the drinks, the jokes and the memories.
We shared laughs, tears of joy and words of kindness – we are leaving with our smiles full of joy, our heads full of memories and our hearts full of love. We will remember these moments forever. We hope to see you very soon in this magical place you’ve created. Thank you for everything – sending you love and blessings.

Our suite was absolutely beautiful
We have stayed at some of the most beautiful places in the world, but none as special as yours. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed as family. Our suite was absolutely beautiful – with no detail left out. Impeccably clean and perfectly appointed.
We could hardly believe it was a tent! The porch and view of the river made the stay even more special. Finally, thank you ALL for helping us celebrate our milestone anniversary and birthday. Joseph’s hippo sounds to surprise me were just the start of the fun. The songs, blessings, gifts and smiles will stay with us forever.

We arrived as guests and leave as family
An incredulous time spent in your magical camp and a once in a lifetime experience. The attention to detail is faultless. Such a perfect place to spend our “110th” birthday.
We will hold our campfire blessings close to our hearts forever. To quote Fairman’s speech, “We arrived as guests and leave as family.” It was a privilege to share this little slice of heaven with you.

I hope to be back
Ishara is an environment where every flower will thrive and bloom. I have been so gloriously happy and enchanted with every single space and place here —
my soul feels full — full of love and peace, and joy at being able to experience this unique place. Thank you to every single person here. Your vision soars like a Bateleur. I hope to be back.

It’s not goodbye, it’s until next time
“Wherever you go, there you are.” To the team, thank you to each one of you who has made my second experience at Ishara so special.
I felt at home. I’ve been in love with the Mara since 2009, so it’s truly remarkable that something new would impress me. Ishara is not only a worthy addition, but an elevation. The wildlife, the room, amenities, spa, cuisine and wine, the sustainable nature of it and uniquely the photography studio. I came solo but leave with a new community and some new friends. Thanks, Altaf and Eric. It’s not goodbye, it’s until next time.

A paradise for reflection
Ishara is truly magical. It is not just a lodge or camp but a paradise for reflection of the mind.
The quality is amazing and the food tops even five–star restaurants in any capital city of the world. Ishara will be my home in the Mara! Asante sana.

These folks bring this place to life
We all need time to step away from the monotony of life and rest. While we filled our days here with game drives, photography, concepting and editing, my soul feels refreshed.
Thank you for giving me this time of rest and for nurturing my soul. The best asset you have – your people. I’ve made friends that are so much more than Ishara ‘staff’. These folks bring this place to life and make it so, so special. I can’t wait to see what’s to come for all of you.
