Nairobi – Naivasha - Lake Nakuru National Park.
Depart Nairobi at 0830hrs and drive north down the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. We take a brief stop at Viewpoint for a few camera shots of this amazing natural phenomenon. The history of this valley dates back to thousands of years during some great earth movements that caused massive shifting of the earth’s foundation rocks. This massive valley stretches from the Middle East down through East Africa to Mozambique in Southern Africa holding along great lakes. (e.g. Victoria, Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru, Elementaita, Naivasha, Magadi, Natron, Tanganyika, etc). Proceed with safari with a stopover for panoramic views of Naivasha and Lake Elementaita arriving at Nakuru in time for lunch.
Later proceed for a game viewing drive in the Park, which has prolific Flamingoes, White Pelicans and the Marabou Stork among others. Waterbuck and Cape Buffalo can be seen near the shoreline. Rothschild’s Giraffe and the White Rhino are additional attractions among other species of plains game and cats like Lion. The park also features the picturesque Makalia Waterfalls.
Lake Nakuru National Park lies in the volcano strewn Rift Valley and is one of the chain of 8 Lakes which stretch the length of Kenya from Ethiopia to Tanzania. The park offers an incredible 450 different species of birds which are water, fish-eating, terrestrial and migratory birds to include Pelican, Fish Eagle, Secretary Bird, Heron, Egret, Hammerkop and Grebe. With luck you may spot Leopard, which is rather elusive. In the evening we return to Camp/Lodge/Hotel for dinner and overnight on Full Board Basis.
