In the late morning, check out from the lodge and begin the 5-hour drive to Lake Nakuru. The journey passes through more scenic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley. You’ll have a lunch break along the way before arriving in Nakuru in the afternoon. Once you check into your lodge, you can relax or take a short walk around the area.
