Day 1

Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

Depart Nairobi in your private pop-up roof 4x4 and travel through the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. After lunch, enjoy an afternoon game drive among the lakeshore grasslands and woodland. Look for rhino, buffalo, giraffe, antelope and birdlife, with your guide explaining the different habitats. Flamingo numbers change with lake conditions, so a large gathering cannot be promised. Continue to Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge for dinner and your first overnight stay. Lunch, dinner and drinking water are included today. Please arrive in Nairobi before the tour begins so the departure and afternoon safari are not rushed.

Leave Olkarien early after breakfast and travel out of the Serengeti towards Ngorongoro. This is a substantial driving day, so your guide keeps the morning focused on the transfer.

Explore the grasslands, wetland edges and woodland while looking for lions, buffalo and, with luck, black rhino. Sightings cannot be guaranteed.
