Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National park

Depart Nairobi in the morning and enjoy a scenic drive with a brief stop at the Rift Valley Viewpoint to admire the spectacular escarpments, sweeping plains, and panoramic views. Continue to Lake Nakuru National Park, arriving at your lodge in time for lunch and a short rest before your afternoon game drive.
Explore the park’s diverse habitats, including acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and the lakeshore, in search of black and white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, and lions. Bird enthusiasts may also spot pelicans, herons, and flamingos, depending on the season and lake conditions.
In the evening, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, relaxing amid the peaceful surroundings as you prepare for another wildlife experience the following morning.

Lake Nakuru National Park to Nairobi

After breakfast, proceed to check out from your lodge and set out for a final morning game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park. This drive offers yet another excellent opportunity to observe a diverse range of wildlife in its natural environment, including bird species, grazers, and, with some luck, predators beginning their day. You will traverse different sections of the park, allowing you to appreciate its varied landscapes, from the lake shores to wooded and open savannah areas.
At approximately 11:00 AM, depart from Lake Nakuru and begin your journey back to Nairobi, traveling through the scenic Rift Valley and passing local towns and rural landscapes along the way. You are expected to arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon, where you will be dropped off either at your hotel within the city or at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, marking the end of your safari experience.
