Enjoy the magic Ishara brings
Words cannot express the way you have made us feel. The kindness and generosity you have given us will stay forever with the whole family. Ishara means a sign and the last 3 days we’ve seen so many wonderful ones through the family you have created here.

This is an experience I will never forget
Thank you for your hospitality and sharing with me a piece of your world. This is an experience I will never forget. I know I will come back soon with friends and family, so that they can also experience your love and the Mara.

Kind, caring, friendly and helping us learn
From the welcome it was clear that Ishara was going to be special. How special we could not have foreseen. Our anniversary celebration!! One comes on safari for the animals. Ishara’s guiding provides plenty of that.
But what makes the most lasting memories will undoubtedly be the people. Kind, caring, friendly and helping us learn so much about this land. I hope we have only begun our journey as Ishara family.

Eating breakfast next to lions
Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience. You all made us feel like members of the family and everyone went above and beyond to make our honeymoon incredibly special.
From eating breakfast next to lions, to cocktails overlooking the river, to a spectacular sunset on the observation deck, our entire experience will be something we hold dear for the rest of our lives. Your love and hospitality were sincerely appreciated and we hope to be back with friends and family very soon. Asante sana!

We cannot fault it
Ishara Mara truly made our trip in Kenya unforgettable and incredible. Words cannot begin to express how amazing this camp is. We cannot fault it. The camp itself was amazing and had everything you could possibly need (there is even a gym, pool and spa!) The most special part of the experience was by far the staff and the guides who treat you like family. They went above and beyond in making it the most beautiful experience.
Isaac and the team of chefs catered to every need, specifically our dietary requirements (vegan) and the entire team accommodated any request with a smile, and went that extra mile with special touches. The staff are all so friendly and loving, and Peter (our guide), was so knowledgeable, funny and friendly – each drive was magical. We cannot thank you enough, Ishara for making this an experience of a lifetime and giving us so many special memories. We couldn’t recommend this camp more. For a special stay with everything you could possibly want and more, stay here! We can’t wait to come back.

Our stay here felt like an experience out of a story book
The last four days have been truly magical. It is hard to pen down our experiences in words. I feel no words can do justice to the calm, serenity, beauty and not to mention comfort that you extend in the middle of the jungle. Our stay here felt like an experience out of a story book.
The camp could not be more comfortable. It feels like a home away from home, and the staff is so friendly, caring, and hospitable that you truly feel like their family. Every element of comfort, practicality and aesthetics have been so well thought out and blend in almost seamlessly. The attention to detail shows the love and passion you have invested in this project.

Highly recommend
Ishara is truly a gem of a camp. Tastefully built on the river banks, the tents provide unmatched luxury & comfort throughout your stay. Everything has been thought of, from the Nespresso machine to the outdoor shower & bath. The food and snacks offered are of the highest quality, and most of their vegetables & greens are grown on site, ensuring quality & freshness.
The staff is absolutely amazing and would bend backwards to ensure all our needs and wants are taken care of. Their guides are very knowledgeable and their cars offer a comfortable ride and great vantage points to view (and photograph) the wildlife and scenery. The fact that they can actually provide you with a camera and have a pro come with you on drives to teach you how to use it (and later edit your photos) was for me unheard of – until I visited Ishara. Words and pictures will never do it justice until you see it for yourself. Highly recommend! (Cannot stress that enough).

Sufficient excuses for a return visit
With five–star food, spectacular views, modern rooms with both an outdoor shower and a riverbank bathtub.
Ishara embodies the simplicity of perfection. We left the futuristic gym, swimming pool and waterfall suite untouched to ensure we had sufficient excuses for a return visit.

Every detail completely blew us away
My recent stay at Ishara with my girlfriend was truly heavenly. Every detail completely blew us away. The safari rides were extremely informative and fascinating, the food was amazing, and the river suite was the definition of luxury.
The staff at Ishara is caring, attentive, and very friendly. They made the trip well worth a return. Eric, the on–site photographer, shone an eye–opening light on the world of wildlife photography for us amateur iPhone photographers. This is the place you want to stay if you’re visiting the Mara, trust me.
