Lake Nakuru

Lake Nakuru

You will be picked up at your place of preference and briefed by our representative. Board your safari vehicle and drive south towards the Great Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park. Have a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for great picture opportunities.

The Great Rift Valley is a geological phenomenon that divides Kenya neatly down the length of the country, essentially separating east from west. Today, the Rift Valley is characterized by uninhabitable desert and fertile farmland, flat arid plains, steep escarpments and 7 lakes in Kenya.

You will arrive on time for lunch and check into Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge. At 16h00, enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park to view the rhinos grazing freely. The drive also takes you to the shores of the lake, famous for its birdlife, especially flamingos that form a pink hue across the lake.

Return for dinner and overnight at the lodge.
