You will arrive at the pink lake in time for lunch and an afternoon game drive.
Lake Nakuru National Park is one of several Rift Valley lakes whose ecosystems support a wide range of wildlife, with flamingos and other waterbirds as the area's major attractions.

Apart from the popular greater and lesser flamingo, there are also plover, marabou stork, white pelican, and egret.

Lake Nakuru NP - Lake Naivasha
We'll have an early morning drive to Lake Naivasha. It is the highest and most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. You will also visit Crescent Island during the boat ride (at an extra cost). This private island on Lake Naivasha rose to fame after the 1985 movie “Out of Africa”, which showcased the beauty of the lake and its surroundings. It can be described as a garden, an animal sanctuary or simply a little paradise. This magical space offers a number of unforgettable experiences. From small to large animals, birds, the sunset hitting the water's surface, and the lush green vegetation that covers the space. You are sure to capture moments that are unique to the island. Most of the animals here are herbivores such as giraffes, zebras, impalas and hippos. The amazing thing is that you get to take a nature walk among these animals without fear of harm or danger. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Have an early breakfast, then leave for Amboseli with lunch en route. Check in at your accommodation upon arrival. Amboseli National Park is situated due south of Nairobi. Most of the park consists of a dry, ancient lakebed and fragile grassland, with patches of acacia woodland. In the southern area, there is a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the swamps of Ol Tukai and Enkongo Narok, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. The park is known as the best place to view large herds of elephants up close. You will have an impressive view of Mount Kilimanjaro, which lies on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. It is also dominated by the vast Lake Amboseli, which is dry outside the rainy season. There are more than 600 bird species in the park. You will spend your night at the camp.

You'll rise early for good views of Mount Kilimanjaro before clouds build up over the summit, with a packed lunch provided.

A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience. Despite its changing habitat, Amboseli National Park is possibly the best place in Africa to experience elephants at close range.
