Tour Plan
07:30 hrs. – Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, residence or Nairobi airport.
We’ll head out in our private 4 x 4 Jeep for Lake Nakuru National Park, taking rest stops along the way to stretch and appreciate views of the Great Rift Valley.
Lake Nakuru dazzles with its birdlife but also its scenic beauty. You’ll find storks, herons, and eagles in this bountiful spot and one of Kenya’s largest populations of black rhinos. Check in for lunch and accommodation at Lake Nakuru Lodge or Sentrim Elementaita
We’ll take game and bird watching drives around the lake, through the forest and over the woodland. Look for the big predators like lion, leopard, and cheetah, but also smaller wildlife in the forests like hyena, waterbuck, olive baboon, and colobus monkey.
Please note that due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels, the flamingo numbers have been reducing but the park itself remains stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dot the lake.
Following the rich topography of the park, we’ll also be on the lookout for the rare Rothschilds giraffe, gazelle, jackal, and mongoose. This is a vivid natural environment and you’ll be struck by its density and diversity. Later in the evening, return to the lodge for diner and overnight.
Either Lake Nakuru or Lake elementaita are perfect spot for a sunrise safari as the voluminous birdlife emerges into the new day. We’ll see the first rays of light touch the lake, bringing with them the early stirrings of the wildlife.
Then we’ll jump into our safari van for a scenic trip through the Great Rift Valley to nearby Lakes Bogoria and Baringo.
Lake Bogoria lies in a volcanic region which accounts for its natural geysers and hot springs, located along the banks of the lake. But the single greatest feature of this reserve is the spectacular flocks of bright colorful flamingos adorning its shores. Lunch will be on picnic or at the Lake Bogoria spa resort. Then proceed to the neighbouring lake Baringo which a bird haven, enjoy a sailing safari across the lake, the birdwatching is unsurpassed. You’ll be looking for nightjars, Goliath herons, and hornbills amongst its over 400 species of avian life.
You can opt to make a village visit to the Njemps Community Village for $40 per person. Diner and overnight at either Baringo or Lake Bogoria spa resort
We’ve got a very busy day before us, so we’ll depart early for Lake Naivasha.
The Lake Naivasha area is filled with forests, extinct volcanos, waterfalls, and dramatic gorges. It’s a high-altitude, freshwater lake featuring hippos, aquatic, and birdlife.
But there’s plenty of wildlife as well – view buffalo, impala and waterbuck drawn to the lake’s shores.
We’ll have lunch here and enjoy a sail across the lake, taking in the resident hippos.
Then, we’ll take a short walk on the lake shores to admire mostly gentle grazers such as wildebeest, waterbuck, zebra, gazelle and more.
But now it’s time for the easy drive back to Nairobi. Over our 3-day trek you’ve enjoyed many lakes, lots of wildlife and probably thousands of birds, including the always dazzling flamingoes.
