In the evening, you can go on a boat ride at Lake Naivasha (optional). Dinner and overnight at your lodge.
After breakfast, we will drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is regarded by avid birders as the greatest ornithological display in the world. The park is famous for its millions of pink flamingos lining the lakeshore. Other birdlife includes common species like the lesser and greater flamingo, African fish eagle, tawny eagle, green wood hoopoe, cliff chat, great white and pink-backed pelican plus various other Intra-African migrants. The park is also a sanctuary to the black rhino, white rhino and the Rothschild giraffe. Arrive in time for lunch and check in at your lodge.
