After breakfast in Lake Nakuru proceed to Lake Bogoria with a picnic lunch. Indeed it is a place unlike anything else you have ever seen.

And by the great designs of nature, raptors like tawny eagles are attracted to this site preying on the flamingoes. Before you lies a complete and dazzling eco-system. But flamingoes aren’t the only birdlife feeding on the abundance of this rich environment. Even this relatively small reserve supports 135 species of birdlife such as stork, spoonbill buzzard, hornbill, heron, ostrich and the sacred ibis. There is really much to explore on this lake.
