LAKE NAKURU (Day Trip)
Lake Nakuru National Park lies in
the volcanic - strewn Great Rift Valley, one of the
chain of 8 lakes, which stretch the length of Kenya,
Tanzania to Ethiopia. 160 kilometers from Nairobi,
you will drive through the farmlands of the Kikuyu
Community and drop down the escarpment into the dramatic
floor of the Rift Valley.
The lake is world famous as the location of the greatest
bird spectacle on earth - myriads of fuchsia Pink flamingoes
whose numbers are legion, often more than a million
maybe two. The Park now has more than 25 rhinos, (both
the black and white) one of the largest concentrations
in the country, so the chances of spotting these survivors
are good. There are also a number of
Rothschild's
giraffe.
Among the predators are lions and leopards, the later
being seen much more frequently in recent times. The
Park also has large sized python snakes that inhabit
the dense woodlands, and can often be seen crossing
the roads or dangling from trees. Lunch will be served
at a Lodge in the Park and thereafter another ‘Spice’
game drive en-route to Nairobi arriving before dusk.
