Overview
Get ready for safaris galore on this extensive tour of the Great Rift Valley lakes. The variety of wildlife found in these parks is easily matched by the great diversity of colorful birdlife flocking to the lakes. You’ll be looking for buffalo, lion, rhino, crocodile, and warthog but also owls, hornbills, and great swaths of fuchsia flamingoes! The scenery is as rich as the wildlife and you’ll explore it by 4 x 4 Jeep, boat, foot, and bicycle.
Lake Nakuru National Park: Due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels , the flamingo numbers have been reducing but the park itself remains stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills and euphorbia trees dot the lake.
The few quantity of flamingos is accompanied by other birdlife – pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy and full of color.
But that’s only the beginning of what this special park has to offer because the wildlife viewing here is easy and accessible. Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. You’re sure to see rare Rothschild’s Giraffe along with white rhino, especially along the lakeshore.
The park is also sanctuary to one of Kenya’s largest populations of black rhino.
Set your sights on more dazzling flamingoes, plus hot springs and dramatic geysers at Lake Bogoria National Reserve. This alkaline lake hosts a myriad of birdlife but also wildlife such as cheetah, baboon, warthog, hyena, impala and dik-dik. Nearby Lake Baringo is rocky and wild, featuring hundreds of bird species, plus crocs and hippos.
Finally, Lake Naivasha and its neighboring attractions offer us new kinds of safaris with which to explore the wildlife. Take an optional sailing safari and glide past the hippos. Enjoy another discovery option at Hell’s Gate National Park, with a walking or cycling safari past grazing zebra, impala, giraffe, and antelope. Just let us know your choices and we’ll customize this lake safari to your liking.

Day 2
Lake Nakuru to Bogoria & Baringo
The park is the perfect spot for a sunrise safari as the voluminous birdlife emerges into the new day. We’ll see the first rays of light touch the lake, bringing with them the early stirrings of the wildlife.
Then we’ll jump into our 4 x 4 Jeep for a scenic trip through the Great Rift Valley to nearby Lakes Bogoria and Baringo.
Lake Bogoria lies in a volcanic region which accounts for its natural geysers and hot springs, located along the banks of the lake. But the single greatest feature of this reserve is the spectacular flocks of bright colorful flamingos adorning its shores.
If you’d like, enjoy an optional sailing safari across the lake, slicing through this vibrant sea of pink.
Neighboring Lake Baringo is rich with algae on which its large flocks of flamingoes feed. The birdwatching is unsurpassed, and you’ll be looking for nightjars, Goliath herons, and hornbills amongst its over 400 species of avian life.
Day 3
Lake Baringo to Lake Naivasha finally Nairobi
Day 3

We’ve got a very busy day before us, so we’ll depart early for Lake Naivasha.
The Lake Naivasha area is filled with forests, extinct volcanos, waterfalls, and dramatic gorges. It’s a high-altitude, freshwater lake featuring hippos, aquatic, and birdlife.
But there’s plenty of wildlife as well – view buffalo, impala and waterbuck drawn to the lake’s shores.
We’ll lunch here and enjoy an optional sail across the lake, taking in the resident hippos.
We also offer an optional visit to nearby Hell’s Gate National Park where you can take a walking or cycling safari past the peacefully grazing wildlife.
But now it’s time for the easy drive back to Nairobi. Over our 3-day trek you’ve enjoyed many lakes, lots of wildlife and probably thousands of birds, including the always dazzling flamingoes.
