An early morning drive out of Nairobi and down the escarpment into the Great Rift Valley. The 2-hour drive passes through highland farms of the Kikuyu people, before descending into the dramatic landscape of the Rift. Drive past the extinct volcano – Mt. Longonot – to arrive in the Nakuru National Park – an ornithologist’s paradise, the home to a variety of plains game, larger herds of buffalo, rhino and a variety of predators.
The day is spent driving around the Park, one of the best places to see the White rhino, Rothschild (Baringo) giraffe and sometimes up to 2 million flamingos on the soda lake. Lunch is at a Lodge located in the park and a chance to relax and enjoy the views over the lake. The return journey to Nairobi stops at Lake Naivasha for tea among the yellow acacia trees and a fantastic array of bird life and arrives in Nairobi just before sunset.
