Remember the Meru man who recently sent Kiangua residents into panic over a lion that turned out to be a shopping bag? He is now a happy man after seeing a real lion at the Mara thanks to Expendition Maasai Safaris.
Franklin Murimi along side his employer Mrs Mugambi were on Tuesday gifted a 3-day safari to the Mara by Expeditions Maasai Safaris.
The tour company has catered for all the expenses from transport, accommodation, game drives, meals, drinks, and park entrance charges for the 3-day safari.
The 3-day safari runs from Tuesday, May 10 to Thursday, May 12, 2022.
Franklin, a farm worker from Kiangua area in Imenti South, Meru County was all smiles as he and his employer received the voucher
“I never thought someone would pay me to go on a holiday. Even my friends said I was pranking KWS but I truly had seen the image as a lion. Others even told me to stop taking drugs but I am a Christian and have never taken any drugs,’’ he said.
While presenting the voucher, Expendition Maasai Safaris CEO Pancras Karema thanked his customers for enabling him to touch lives.
“We will always encourage and give deserving Kenyans the opportunity to experience what our customers enjoy when they are on holiday with us. We believe you will see the real Simba and go back to Meru and encourage others to book a safari to tour our magical Kenya,’’ he added.
