We will have stops in different points to see how water behaves at the Equator 81m Thompson Water Fall and the Great Rift Valley. The journey takes between 5 to 5 and a half hrs and expecting to arrive at the Lodge in good time for lunch. Lake Nakuru National Park is very unique. The Lake is a home to thousands of Flamingoes, Pelicans and Hippos. This is the best park to see both White and Black Rhinos, Lions, Rothschild Giraffes, Zebras and other different species of antelopes. I chose Lake Nakuru Lodge because of its unique location. It is inside the park with very good view overlooking the Lake. At night, Lions are roaring very close to the Lodge. No need to fear because there is an electric fence around the Lodge. The food and services are excellent. Rooms are good with comfortable beds. At 1530hrs, depart for the afternoon game drive until sun set. Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
