Overview
Itinerary
Welcome to the Moran Empire safari to Maasai Mara. Departing from the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, we drive
down the escarpment via the floor of the scenic Great Rift Valley. We arrive at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve in
time for lunch in the afternoon. We will check you into the luxurious lodge or basic permanent tents that are
self-contained and fitted with feature beds and en suite bathroom areas. In the evening 4pm, we take our first
thrilling game drive in the Maasai Mara game reserve, one of East Africa’s top safari destinations. 6 pm return to
the lodge for dinner and overnight stay. In the night, you can hear a chorus of different animal sounds as they
communicate with each other in the darkness – more than enough reason to visit. An evening sundowners
cocktail as you view the sun go down is a good way to end the day at an extra cost.
After breakfast leave for a full day game drive with picnic lunch at Mara river migration bride area. This day is
spent game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Our morning and
afternoon game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this
vast Kenyan game reserve. Early morning Maasai Mara hot air balloon safari can be arranged at extra cost.
Wherever you go in the vast Maasai Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Maasai giraffe,
baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest.
Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either
basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot,
but reasonably common. The ultimate action here is without doubt the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great
Migration, in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of
lusher grass before turning south again in October to December. There is nothing thrilling like a bush dinner to
end such an adventurous day at an extra cost.
We start the day with an Optional early morning game drive ( extra charge is applicable) from 6.30 am to 9.00 am,
you might be lucky to witness hunting. At an extra cost A bush breakfast can be arranged, followed by a visit to
the Maasai village to conclude your Maasai Mara safari experience. We depart from our safari lodge/camp at
10 a.m. and take an en-route game drive through the Maasai Mara Reserve on day three. Then we return to
bustling Nairobi, arriving at about 16:00 in the afternoon. This unforgettable 3-Day Maasai Mara Safari ends
upon arrival back in Nairobi.
