Lake Nakuru Day Trip - Kenya

Pickup offered
Offered in: English

You’ve probably witnessed a scene in a wildlife documentary of Lake Nakuru, where the flamingoes flourish.

Lying south of Central Kenya, Nakuru is a shallow alkaline lake (or salt lake). A National Park was established in 1961 to protect it. Today, it has been one of the most visited destinations in Kenya. Actually, Nakuru means “dust” or, in some translations of the Maasai language, “dusty place”. The lake is perhaps named as such due to its vast savannah whose soil loosens especially during the dry season.
So if you are planning to embark on a wildlife journey, you may do so as we offer day tours from the capital that takes visitors and wildlife enthusiasts at Nakuru Lake as well as nearby spots like Masai Mara or Lake Baringo.
Our tour does include Lunch and services from a professional driver guide
