Flamingo Magic: One Day, A Million Wings

LAKE NAKURU DAY TRIP

This Kenya bush tour offers a short trip from Nairobi. We help you sample the very best of Kenya's national park, Lake Nakuru National Park. This amazing park is one of the best places to visit on a short Kenyan visit.

Proposed Itinerary

Our driver will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel or airport early in the morning. You will head to Nakuru with a short stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to take some memorable photos. Lake Nakuru National Park was created in 1961 around Lake Nakuru, near Nakuru Town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions, spectacular pink flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink wildlife. The number of flamingos on the lake varies according to water and food conditions. The best vantage point for viewing the birds is Baboon Cliff.

Upon arrival at the park, you will take off for an amazing game drive. See large numbers of waterbuck, warthog, impala, buffalo, plains game, cheetah, and now rhino, as Lake Nakuru National Park has been made into one of Kenya's rhino sanctuaries. After lunch (own cost), proceed with an en-route game drive as you depart for Nairobi. Arrive in the evening with drop off at the pickup point.
