Nairobi Hotel/Airport - Lake Nakuru National Park

Your adventure with Marula Horizon Safaris begins early morning with a pickup from your Nairobi hotel or airport. Drive through the scenic Great Rift Valley, stopping briefly at a viewpoint for panoramic photos.

Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park around 10:00 a.m. and embark on a full-day game drive. Explore the park’s rich landscapes — from woodlands to open plains and lakeshores — as you search for rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, lions, and a variety of bird species including flamingos and pelicans.

Enjoy a packed picnic lunch inside the park to maximize your game viewing time. Continue your afternoon game drive until 5:30 p.m., when you’ll check in at your lodge.

Relax and unwind at Eldorado Rustic Hotel & Gardens, a cozy retreat surrounded by nature near Lake Nakuru.

Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Crescent Island - Nairobi Hotel/Airport

After breakfast, depart for Lake Naivasha, arriving mid-morning. Enjoy an optional boat ride across the lake to view hippos, fish eagles, and other birdlife.

Proceed to Crescent Island, where you’ll take a guided walking safari among giraffes, zebras, impalas, wildebeests, and gazelles — one of Kenya’s few places where you can safely walk alongside wild animals.

Afterward, enjoy an optional lunch at Elsamere Lodge, the former home of Joy and George Adamson — famous for “Born Free.” Dine by the lake as you watch playful monkeys and listen to the sounds of nature.

Later, depart for Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon. Drop-off will be at your hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, marking the end of your memorable safari with Marula Horizon Safaris.
