All of it was beyond expectations
What a spectacular place and experience! There was no part our families did not love; the animal viewing, the food, the spa, the photo studio- all of it was beyond expectations. Thank you for a magical trip.

Most perfect resort experience I’ve ever had
What an exquisite way to celebrate a birthday. To look at life, surrounded by life. Ishara might be the most perfect resort experience I’ve ever had. Every detail, every ‘sign’, was thoughtful and divine. I truly don’t want to leave, and anxiously look forward to returning someday soon. Asante Sana. Much love.

Warmth, kindness, joy
I simply cannot express how incredible this experience has been and the lengths you have all gone to contribute to that. I cannot thank you enough for your warmth, kindness, joy, insight and the smiles with which we were greeted every day.
It has quite simply been the most awesome experience of my life and you have allowed me to switch off, relax, love, ground and laugh. I have fallen in love over and over again. The Mara is truly a special place.

I can promise you that from the moment you arrive, you will feel like you have entered into a dream world, where every moment feels like a seamless blend of adventure and serenity, wrapped in the warmth of unparalleled hospitality and the breathtaking beauty of the wild. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, look no further. I promise you there is no place on earth like Ishara. We can’t wait to return!

It’s like coming home
The fourth time and it’s like coming home. Thank you for everything. I cannot believe how you have risen from the dust after the floods and recreated this amazing home. The people, my brothers and sisters, the family, food, wild nature, this is home.
I hope many people get to experience the Ishara magic once and many more times in this life journey. The Starbed was yet another magical, soulful experience. Until next time, much love and may we all follow our signs.

More than perfect
Dear team Ishara, everyone has been more than perfect. It truly has been an experience of a lifetime. The entire team truly blew us away. Your kindness, attention to detail, and laughter will never be forgotten. Here’s to many more adventures together.

Ishara stands out among the many luxury camps
Ishara stands out among the many luxury camps in the Masai Mara, not just for its exquisite facilities, unique fine dining, and onsite canon studio but also for the heart, soul, passion, and dedication of the Ishara family. During our five-night stay, we encountered many heartfelt and memorable experiences. Ishara infuses a sense of magic into every moment, ensuring that your milestones are celebrated and the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
Planning your first safari can be daunting, even for seasoned travellers, but if you follow the signs and are fortunate enough, they will guide you to Ishara. We arrived as guests and departed as family, carrying priceless experiences and treasured memories. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank our Ishara family for creating a safe haven that reminded us to be present, grounded, and grateful.

Stunningly rebuilt and fabulously run
Words simply don’t suffice when describing the experience guests will have during their stay at Ishara! This stunningly rebuilt and fabulously run 5-star luxury tented camp in the Masai Mara excels in everything it provides its valued guests.
Nestled in an outcrop of trees amongst the expansive grasslands of the Mara, Ishara offers truly stellar wildlife viewing! The incredible meals, gorgeously-decorated lodge and tents, superior staff who are like family, beautiful pool and spa, and Masai staff members who are on watch at all times, are just the beginning of what will make your stay at Ishara unforgettable. You can capture all of this with the amazing Canon camera equipment provided to you during your stay. Two fantastic photographers are on staff to assist with photography tips, analyze your photographs, and help you get the most out of your game drives and stay at this remarkable tented lodge!

the BEST in the Mara
Ishara Mara is the BEST in the Mara!! Amazing service, personalized food, and the game viewing was top notch. The spa was one of the best I have ever seen, and there was even a cold plunge, hot tub and sauna. Felt like home and I can’t wait to go back.

Thank you for welcoming us so warmly. From the moment we arrived, Ishara felt like home. Thank you for sharing your culture with us and letting us experience Kenya and all its beauty. We have memories now that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We truly felt loved and protected here, we will endeavour to be back with the rest of our family as this place we hold in our hearts now.
