3 Days/ 2 Nights Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria Safari from Nairobi departs daily and takes you to Lake Nakuru National Park. This Park is just 4 Kilometers south of Nakuru town in central Kenya and 160 Kilometers northwest of Nairobi.
Nakuru is arguably the most renowned among Kenya’s Rift Valley lakes and one of the best known African parks in the entire world, with its alkaline waters fringed at times by more than one million flamingos. Nakuru is also the big success story for rhino. There are some black rhinos here, as well as white, though it is the white that you see mostly as the black are much more reclusive.
Nakuru is also justifiably famous for flamingoes. Among the other species which proliferate in the park, the most impressive are the buffalo, giraffe and water buck. There are also almost 500 species of birds including possibly the highest concentration of the beautiful long crested eagle anywhere.
You also get to visit Lake Bogoria National Reserve – a saline water shallow located at the northern region of the Kenyan Rift, 25 kilometers south of Lake Baringo. Lake Bogoria geysers and hot springs are the major attractions which are at the central basin of the lake.
Animal found in Lake Bogoria National Reserve include: Greater Kudu, Burchell’s Zebra warthogs, Forest hog Impala, Klipspringers, Cape buffalo, Patas Monkeys among others.
