What to expect

Experience the beauty and wildlife of Kenya on a full-day trip from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park. Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up around 6:30 AM, followed by a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley with optional photo stops to admire the breathtaking views. You’ll arrive at the park by approximately 9:30 AM and head straight into a thrilling morning game drive. Lake Nakuru is famous for its flamingos, diverse birdlife, and large populations of white and black rhinos, as well as giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and occasionally lions and leopards. Around 12:30 PM, enjoy lunch at a lodge inside the park, with time to relax and take in the surroundings. In the afternoon, continue exploring the park’s acacia forests, grasslands, and lake shores during another game drive. Begin your return trip to Nairobi at 4:00 PM, arriving back around 7:00 PM. This day trip offers a perfect blend of nature, wildlife, and adventure—all in one day.

The boat ride to Lake Naivasha: if one person books, its $50 dollars but from 2 to 25 is $25 per person.
