This trip takes on a
camping
safari in Kenya's Great Rift Valley and to some
of the soda and fresh water lakes which stretch across the
Rift Valley floor - the dramatic and rugged landscape of
Lake Bogoria, the tranquility and beauty of Lake Baringo and
the wildlife haven of Lake Nakuru.
Day 1 Nairobi - Lake Baringo L . D
Leaving Nairobi in the morning you drive west to the edge of
the escarpment where, stopping briefly at a viewpoint, the
awesome panorama of the Great Rift Valley stretches out
before you with the extinct volcanoes of Suswa and Longonot
and the glistening waters of Lake Naivasha in the near
distance. You descend to the Rift Valley floor and past
Lakes Naivasha and
Lake Elementaita to Nakuru town where you stop
for a picnic lunch in view of Lake Nakuru.
After lunch you continue to
Lake Bogoria
where, along the
shores, you find geysers shooting fountains of hot water
high into the air and pools of hot water bubbling from the
ground. The rare Greater Kudu may be seen in this park. Your
onward journey takes you to
Lake Baringo, famed for its
spectacular birdlife, crocodile and hippo. Here you set up
camp near the lake shore for the night.
Day 2 Lake Baringo - Lake Nakuru B . L . D
After breakfast enjoy a walk beside the lake whilst your
camp is dismantled. You then depart for your return drive to
Lake Nakuru
national park arriving in time for a picnic lunch at your next
campsite in the Park. After lunch relax in camp before your
afternoon game drive around the Lake where you may see
waterbuck, gazelle, buffalo, rhino, the rare Rothschild
giraffe and perhaps lion or leopard. The Lake is famous also
for its great concentration of birds, in particular the
colourful pink flamingo which seasonally feed off the
abundant algae in the shallow waters of this soda lake. At
dusk you return to your camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 3 Lake Nakuru - Nairobi B . L
After a cup of early morning tea, you are taken on a game
drive around the Park returning to your camp for a late
breakfast. After breakfast you leave Nakuru for your return
journey back to Nairobi, stopping en route for a picnic lunch
and later drop off at your
Nairobi
hotel. *See
