Highlights

Nairobi to Masai Mara

Rift Valley Province - You will be picked up from your hotel in the city center and begin your safari to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, with a stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. Here, you will enjoy a stunning view of the scenic Rift Valley floor and spot Mt Longonot in the distance.

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Upon arrival at the camp, you will have lunch and check into your accommodation. At 4 p.m., you will head out for an evening sunset game drive in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Return to your accommodation for a delicious buffet dinner and a restful night.

Full Day Game Drive in the Mara

Mara River - Spend the entire day exploring the Maasai Mara in search of the Big Five animals. Enjoy picnic lunches in the Reserve as you take in the beauty of the Mara. Resident hippos and Nile crocodiles can be seen along the banks of the Mara River all year round. Few places have a higher concentration of wildlife than the Masai Mara, and sightings of four of the Big Five are almost guaranteed on any trip (although rhinos are harder to spot). The Mara is also one of the best reserves in the world for seeing the three big cats: leopard, lion, and cheetah. It’s no surprise that the BBC TV show Big Cat Diaries is filmed in the reserve.

Maasai Mara National Reserve - Enjoy a full day game drive in the best safari destination in the world, according to World Travel Magazine. The Masai Mara Reserve is Kenya’s most popular tourist destination, located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland. Wildlife is most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. It is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. Visitors are almost certain to spot the Big Five. The phenomenal wildebeest migration, a spectacular event, is only seen in the Maasai Mara.

Mara to Nairobi

Mara River - After an early morning breakfast, check out and visit the Maasai Village. Then, begin the drive back to Nairobi. Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at the city center or your hotel within the city center. No game drive is scheduled for this last day.

Ololaimutiek - This is the local area where we are staying in the Masai Mara. On this day, you have the option to visit the Maasai tribe to learn more about their culture and lifestyle for an additional cost of USD 20 per person. They will warmly welcome you to their small huts and show you how they keep their animals and light fires.

Viele Tiere und perfekte Organisation - The Maasai Mara deserves to be called a wonder of the world. We have seen not only numerous elephants, buffalos, lions, and leopards, but also giraffes and zebras and numerous over species. We were also overwhelmed from the scenes of large herds of gnus or zebras of which I never expected that so many existed at all. Our guide Kevin has shown comprehensive knowledge of the Mara's places to go to actually find animals, perfectly complemented by listening to the radiotelephone. As we e.g. have been specifically into giraffes, Kevin managed to both navigate to prospective places as well as stopping on request when he or one of us spotted one, not forgetting the many other animals to see. We have booked the Private Safari as the all-inclusive package because we had no prior experience with safaris and a four years old daughter, and this worked out extremely well: the only money we have spent are some tips for excellent performance and an extra tour over the Lake Naivasha on our way back, see below. In particular, enough drinking water has been available at any time. We arrived the first day already for lunch at the accomodation, the Rhino Tourist Camp. The accomodation there are tented rooms including private bathrooms and a shower. Everything has been clean. Some background music has been perceivable throughout the night, most likely to deter in combination with light on all the way inside the camp to deter the wild animals. A double outlet allowed to recharge the batteries of the phones and cameras. Breakfast, lunch and dinner had excellent food including well prepared vegetables. We have started with a two-and-a-half hours tour on the afternoon of the first day. We have been totally overwhelmed by the richness of impressions very quickly, so this has been ample time in the Mara park for the first day. On the second day we spent the full day in the Mara, having lunch in boxes that Kevin has brought from the Rhino camp at the hippo observation spot where the Mara river crosses the boundary to Tanzania. We actually overdrafted the planned return time of 17h a little bit because there have been so many interesting animals to spot, and Kevin has spotted further animals up to the last minute. On the third day on our way back we decided to make a detour to the Lake Naivasha, and this has been a great extra, too: while there are relatively fewer birds in the Mara compared to the large number of mammals, the lake featured a rich ecosystem with specifically many birds. We also got as close as possible to a savage zabra and a savage giraffe. We have returned on the third day shortly before 19h at Nairobi.

A memorable experience - The memories are made of a guided 3day tour to maasai mara national reserve with moshel tour and travels.Having made several tours in the past with other companies in the past ,settling on moshel is the best thing we did.our experience with them is incomparable;time management, state of the art travel machinery ;vans and 4×4landcruisers are nothing but comfort.Their experience ,humble and well informed staff made the memories to always come back.We had to learn from the guides how the nature is interdependence, the beauty of wildlife and the photos we took while there are the climax of our tour.we will be looking to experience the moshel's hospitality on our next tour. kudos!

Safari August 2024 - The tour and the guide were great! We had much fun during the safari. The only disadvantage was the accomodation. It was just a tent (rhino tourist tented camp) that we could not even close properly. If accomodation was better it would be the best experience.

Inolvidable - An experience that has exceeded my expectations thanks to the ease they have put us at all times. Robert, our driver, has had a lot to do as he has done his best to see as many animals as possible and even take us to see how the wildebeest crossed the river. A highly recommended trip.

Great experience 100% recommended - From the first moment we contacted Perfect wilderness they were very friendly providing us with all the training clearly and resolving all our doubts. Reservation and payment process was very simple and from the beginning gave us a lot of confidence as we had consulted other agencies that had generated confusion. Once the Safari started everything was great. Rober, our driver, made the experience incredible, taking us to every corner of the Reservation to see the big 5 and doing his best to get there and have the best views. Thanks to his expertise we could see the great migration and hundreds of wildebeest crossing the river. It was spectacular. Definitely 100% recommended.

10 points!!!! - Definitely an experience I would repeat! Since I first contacted them, everything was very easy. Communication and information has been clear and prompt. Once they arrived in Kenya, everything has been the same. Our driver, Robert, picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and stayed with us for 3 days on safari. He has explained many things about the journey, animals, culture... he has helped us in everything and has been a perfect company in our safari. The best driver who could touch us in and out of the park! For me it was a 10/10 that I would recommend to anyone who wants to live the experience!

Safari of a Lifetime - Awesome time! Tom our driver made sure we were able to see the Big 5 and we enjoyed our time. Definitely, viewed and experienced every bit of the Mara. We stayed at the Blue Rhino Camp which was what we expected. Staff were very helpful and hospitable. The cabin tents were just as they were mentioned. Easy accessible and safe. Make sure to upgrade to the Landcruiser just in case it rains. Thanks again!

Rustic - Masai village tour was informative but humbling. Accommodation was very basic. Although game viewing was excellent it was spoilt by upwards of 20 vehicles jostling at each sighting. Was also upset that pickup at hotel was included in price but was forced to pay 20 USD
