The most magical paradise
We are emotional leaving you today after the most special, meaningful, and impactful journey with you, but we will keep you all close in our hearts, minds, and memories. From the moment we crossed the bridge, we were greeted by the most loving group of people we’ve ever met — and since that moment, your attention and care for us has only continued.
Alex and I were celebrating our honeymoon and marriage here at Ishara, and on the last night on the observatory, we were so touched by the ceremony you made for us. What beautiful people you are in the most magical paradise in the Masai Mara. We look forward to staying in touch and supporting you all in the United States! We also look forward to visiting again someday with a family of our own. Thank you for the unmatched service, attention, care and love you all put into every detail.

The signs of love
Coming to Africa has been my dream for many years, and celebrating our 20-year wedding anniversary has been the most amazing experience. We feel so blessed to witness the signs of love you show us, and from deep in our hearts, we hope we come back soon. Freshia, your laugh and service is unique.
Charity, your adventures, knowledge and charm made every game drive better than the previous one. Evelyn, Victoria, and Liz, you pampered us with so much care; we feel blessed. Imara, your patience showing us how to take remarkable pictures and select from over 6,000 pictures with Olivia and Juliana was priceless. Judy and Stephen, thank you for organizing our beautiful wedding anniversary ceremony, and Chef Isaac, every detail was unmatched. To all the Maasai people and the Ishara family, we love you and appreciate everything you do. No detail goes unnoticed. Hopefully one day we can host you in our home. Until then, asante sana.

We will never forget
Words could never begin to describe how much we have enjoyed being a part of your magical family. Every part of our stay was special and we felt the love and care from each one of the team members who watched over us. We will never forget the experiences, meals, facilities, and the smiles. And we will never forget each of you. Thank you! Asante!

The most magical of times
We don’t know where to begin to thank you all for the most magical of times. The past few days have truly been the most special for our family. It was the first time Casey and Cullen had been on safari or to Africa and they now refuse to leave — the sign of an amazing place!
You have taken such good care of each and every one of us and made us feel so at peace and happiness. The serenity of the plains, majesty of the animals, magic of the animal sounds and most importantly the people of Ishara – you are truly the best in the world. We will be back! So sad to leave, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Bringing the beautiful Africa to life
A trip of a lifetime — thanks to all the special people and attitude at Ishara. Paul, Peter, Eric, and the entire team did a fabulous job. Everything was wonderful, but most special have been our experiences with the people. Thank you for bringing the beautiful Africa to life. We will cherish these memories and always recommend Ishara to everyone.

A sparkling jewel
This place is a sparkling jewel in the middle of the Masai Mara. The facilities and staff are extraordinary and everyone has taken such good care of us. Listening to everyone’s stories of their life journeys has been inspiring. We love this place!

The most wonderful family vacation
This was the most wonderful family vacation with our adult children. The rooms are gorgeous, the food is amazing but most importantly the staff were incredible. Our bags did not make it amongst our travel woes and they helped us out tremendously.
They had a beautiful shop where we each bought a replacement outfit but they also gave us shirts to wear with our clothes. So, so kind. The photo studio services were fantastic — they lent us better cameras than we brought and helped us to edit the photos and save them, print them etc. Our guide knew the park like the back of his hand and was kind, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. We hope to get an opportunity to return to Kenya and I would definitely go back to Ishara Mara

A true highlight
We spent 3 days at Ishara. This was a true highlight of our 2-week trip to Kenya and Uganda. The food, the accommodations, the staff, and the location were just wonderful. We were hosted to special sundowners at the fire pit and dinner on the observation deck. This place is a must.

Above perfection
One of the best luxury hotels I have seen. Location and food are unmatched. Service is above perfection, better than some of the best palaces in Paris. It is as fantastic as it looks.
