Your adventure begins early as you are picked up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport at 6:00 a.m. and set off on a scenic 3-hour drive through the Great Rift Valley toward Lake Nakuru National Park.
Arrive in time for a morning game drive, exploring the park’s varied landscapes — from acacia forests and rocky cliffs to open grasslands. Keep your camera ready for close encounters with rhinos, lions, buffaloes, and the park’s famous flamingos that create a pink shimmer along the lake’s shores.
Around 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., you’ll break for lunch at a nearby lodge or restaurant overlooking the lake.
In the afternoon, continue your journey to Lake Naivasha, another jewel of the Rift Valley. Here, you can take an optional boat safari (at an extra cost) to glide among hippos, see cormorants drying their wings, and enjoy the serene beauty of this freshwater lake.
Afterwards, you’ll begin your return drive to Nairobi, arriving in the early evening for drop-off at your hotel or the airport — wrapping up a perfect day in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
