Explore gorges carved by ancient rivers and witness towering rock formations. While not as prolific as Amboseli, Hell's Gate still offers opportunities to see a variety of wildlife. Keep an eye out for playful troops of baboons, majestic eagles soaring overhead, or even the elusive klipspringer antelope navigating the rocky slopes. Enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the stunning scenery.

After breakfast, fuel up for adventure as we depart for Lake Nakuru National Park! Nestled within the Rift Valley, this park offers a diverse wonderland for nature lovers. Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting array of animals. The park is a sanctuary for critically endangered black and white rhinos, offering a glimpse of these magnificent creatures. Look out for Rothschild's giraffes - a success story of reintroduction - gracefully browsing the park's vegetation. While the park's signature flamingo flocks have dwindled in recent years due to changes in the lake's ecology, the park's diverse wildlife population remains a breathtaking sight.

After a delicious lunch, embark on an exciting afternoon game drive, exploring the park's rich tapestry of life.
