Description

Ideal as a weekend getaway, or as a safari to punctuate a longer journey through Kenya, this safari takes in some beautiful lakes. With the abundance of water in these park areas, the trip is an ornithologist’s delight, with hundred of rare bird species residing in at both Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha.

Sitting in the heart of the Great African Rift Valley, the lakes are part of a great geological story and home to many of the animals you’d associate with the best of African safari. You will have the chance to see:

  • Giraffes
  • Zebras
  • Waterbucks
  • Hippos
  • Rhinos

Along with seemingly endless lists of avian species to keep you engaged in your Kenyan safari.

Your safari is a private tour and only you and your party will be guided by your African safari guide. The customized 4 x 4 safari vehicle you travel in will only be used by you. With the tour being dedicated to your comfort and pleasure, we will also give you the option of taking a boat trip to Crescent Island, with an extra fee of $30.

We will come and collect you early at your requested location in Nairobi, to ensure that you’re going to get the most out of your time on safari as possible. An 8am start will ensure you get the most time possible in the parks and surrounded by nature.

As you progress through the Great African Rift Valley, Mount Longonot will provide an epic backdrop, and you will get a glance of Lake Naivasha, which you will visit later. Upon arrival at your chosen accommodation, you will be served lunch.

The afternoon is time for a game drive through Lake Nakuru National Park where the bird spotting and wildlife photography can begin in earnest. Be ready to see a lake quite like none you’ll have seen before: for this one is pink. The flocks of flamingos that make this lake their own turn it all shades of pink with their stunning plumage.

Your game drive will last into the early evening, after which you will return to either your camp or lodge and be served your evening meal. The first day of your African safari includes:

  • Accommodation at your camp or lodge
  • Overnight stay inside Lake Nakuru National Park
  • Lunch and dinner, no breakfast
  • Drinking water, other drinks are extra

Every itinerary can be crafted to your needs, from adjusting the length of your stay to including different accommodation and refining the route. Your safari is yours, shaped around your idea of a dream experience.
