Trip Overview
Discover the wildlife, birdlife and dramatic Great Rift Valley scenery of Lake Nakuru National Park on this 2-day safari from Nairobi.
Your journey begins with a scenic road transfer from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park. After arriving and checking in at your safari lodge or tented camp, enjoy lunch before departing on an afternoon game drive.
Explore habitats ranging from the lake shoreline and wooded grasslands to rocky escarpments and acacia forests. Lake Nakuru is an important sanctuary for both black and white rhinos and supports buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos, lions, leopards, antelopes and diverse birdlife. The park is recognised as an ornithological destination and hosts approximately 450 bird species.
The second day begins with an early-morning game drive when wildlife is often more active. Visit Baboon Cliff for panoramic views over the lake and surrounding park before returning for breakfast and beginning the journey back to Nairobi.
This compact safari is suitable for travellers who want to experience Kenya’s wildlife, rhino conservation, Rift Valley landscapes and birdlife within a short two-day itinerary.
