Day 1 Nairobi Rift Valley
Leaving Nairobi you drive down the escarpment to the Rift Valley floor, past Lakes Naivasha, Elementaita and Nakuru to Lake Baringo arriving in time for lunch, the afternoon at leisure, dinner and overnight in camp. Hippo and crocodile abound in this fresh water lake but most visitors are entranced by the multitude of birds with over 400 species having been identified. A boat ride on the lake to view the birdlife can be arranged.
Day 2 Rift Valley Lakes
An early morning bird walk is possible and after breakfast if you wish (Park fees extra) you depart for nearby Lake Bogoria. This soda lake, with its shores of hot springs, boiling geysers and steam jets, stark evidence of the volcanic origins of the Rift Valley, lies hidden behind ridge after ridge of barren stony scrubland. Although primarily scenic, Bogoria is by no means devoid of wildlife and birds are plentiful. You later continue your journey to Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its millions of pink flamingo which seasonally feed on the abundant algae which thrive in its shallow, warm waters. This park is also a Rhino Sanctuary, and both black and white rhino are found here. Nakuru also provides one of the best chances of seeing a leopard. Evening game drive, followed by dinner and overnight in camp.
Day 3 Rift Valley - Nairobi
After an early morning game drive and breakfast, depart for Nairobi.
