Journey to Lake Nakuru – A Wildlife & Birding Haven
After an early breakfast at the lodge, you will depart for Lake Nakuru National Park, located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley. The drive offers scenic views of rolling hills, fertile farmlands, and dramatic escarpments. Along the way, you may pass by local markets and rural villages, offering a glimpse of everyday Kenyan life.
Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch. The property is strategically located with panoramic views of the lake and surrounding acacia forest. After settling in, you can choose to:
Swim and unwind in the lodge’s pool, overlooking the vast Rift Valley plains
Relax in your room or on the veranda, listening to the calls of distant hornbills and admiring the park’s lush greenery
After a refreshing afternoon tea, you will head out for your afternoon game drive.
Afternoon Game Drive Highlights
Lake Nakuru is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Kenya’s most famous parks, celebrated for its unique blend of landscapes and wildlife diversity.
Your safari may include:
Rhino Encounters – The park is a designated rhino sanctuary, with healthy populations of both black and white rhinos often seen grazing near the lake’s edge.
Birdwatcher’s Paradise – Over 400 bird species call Lake Nakuru home, including the great white pelican, African fish eagle, hammerkop, and seasonal flocks of lesser and greater flamingos when the water’s alkalinity is right.
Herbivore Herds – Large Cape Buffalo, impala, waterbuck, and zebra roam freely across the savannah.
Predators – With a bit of luck, you may spot lions lounging in the shade or leopards resting in the acacia trees.
Landscape & Photography Opportunities
The park’s contrasting scenery makes it a photographer’s dream:
The shimmering soda lake reflecting the African sky
Yellow-barked acacia woodlands that are home to colobus monkeys
Rocky cliffs and viewpoints like Baboon Cliff, offering sweeping views of the lake and its wildlife
Open grasslands dotted with grazing animals, perfect for golden-hour shots
As the sun dips toward the horizon, return to your lodge for dinner under the stars. The evening is peaceful, with the distant calls of hyenas and nightjars creating the perfect African soundtrack. Overnight stay at Lake Nakuru.
