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.
