Descend into the Great Rift Valley on a full-day trip from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park and take a game drive to explore spectacular landscapes and wildlife. See the millions of flamingos that colour Lake Nakuru a brilliant pink, and watch some of the 450 species of birds that have been spotted in the national park.
See other animals, which include big cats, rhinos, buffalo, and even the rare black-maned lion, and admire varied ecosystems that support wonderfully diverse wildlife. Travel around Lake Nakuru National Park, located in the Rift Valley, 1750 metres above sea level. Lake Nakuru is known as an ornithological paradise by birdwatchers.
Look out for between one and two million lesser and greater pink flamingos that feed on the abundant algae thriving in the lake's warm waters. It is one of the few parks that has been specifically established for the protection of birds, specifically flamingos. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here.
Drive through the floor of the Great Rift Valley from Nairobi, and stop along the way to admire and marvel at the breathtaking views of the escarpment along the way. Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for a mid-morning game drive. Have a picnic lunch at leisure (not included). As you find your way out of the park, have another game drive and embark on your way to Nairobi.
