As well as seeing many large game animals such as Zebras, and gazelles, this is one of our best chances of seeing rhinos. Lake Nakuru National Park was the first place in Kenya selected as a rhino reserve. Here is one of the few places where we can see Rothschild’s giraffes.
Thomson's Falls - Located in a dense forest populated by baboons, Thomson's Falls plummet from a height of 72 m (230 ft). Stay at the bottom if you don't mind getting splashed by the foaming water-looking up at the falls and the surrounding cliffs provides an opportunity to spot the resident baboons. You’ll have the opportunity to view Mt. Kenya on the way and stop at the equator line for photos and some geography explanation about the two hemispheres and how this imaginary line affects them. Views: Lion Hill, Baboon Cliff and Out of Africa.
