Day 1

Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park

The journey begins early in the morning with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park. As travelers descend into the Great Rift Valley, they are treated to breathtaking views of escarpments, rolling hills, and expansive plains. Upon arrival at the park, proceed to the lodge for check-in and a delicious lunch. After a brief rest, the afternoon is reserved for a game drive across the park's diverse landscapes. Lake Nakuru is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including white and black rhinos grazing near the shores, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, waterbucks, and the elusive leopard often spotted in the acacia woodlands. The lake itself is a haven for birdlife, most notably the large flocks of flamingos and pelicans that line the water’s edge in a stunning display of color. As the sun sets, guests return to their lodge for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay amidst the serene wilderness.
