Itinerary

Day 1: You will be met upon arrival at the Nairobi Airport, and then transferred to Lake Nakuru National Park, which boasts a rich concentration of wildlife as well as a Rhino Sanctuary. This lake and park is famous for it’s flamingos, but there are many other types of birds also living and feeding there. Accommodation will be at Hotel Sundowner tucked away in a quiet corner of Nakuru town. The hotel is simple but clean and has rooms with private bathroom and direct dial telephone. Dinner and overnight will be at the hotel. NOTE: Because this safari departs in the morning a pre-tour night in Nairobi may be required. LD

Day 2: Early morning game drive, followed by breakfast back at the hotel, before departing to Lake Naivasha. An afternoon game drive at the famous Hell’s Gate National Park, with its spectacular gorges and hot springs is one option; a visit to Crescent Island, the only place in Africa where one can wander on foot among plain game, is another possibility. Accommodation and meals will be at a mobile campsite set on the shores of the lake. BLD

Shortly after leaving, the vast panorama of the Great Rift Valley unfolds below with many splendid stopping places from which to photograph this entrancing spectacle.

Over 95 species of mammals and 350 bird species are found in this great reserve. Picnic lunch will be served at the banks of the Masai Mara River where Hippo can be viewed. You may choose to do any of the optional activities available to you.
