Day 01 ‐ Nairobi / Lake Nakuru National Park

Rift Valley is geologic phenomena, which divides Kenya neatly down the length of the
country essentially separating east from west. Today's Rift Valley is characterized by
uninhabitable desert and fertile farmland, flat arid plains, steep escarpments and 07
lakes in Kenya. Descend to the floor of the Rift Valley and proceed to Lake Nakuru
National Park, where you immediately embark on a game drive that takes you around
the shores of the lake, the baboon cliff and then arrive at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge /

Nakuru provides the visitor with one of Kenya's best‐known images. Thousands of flamingo,
joined into a
massive flock, fringe the shores of this soda lake. A pulsing pink swathe of life that carpets the
water, the
flamingo are a breathtaking sight. The lake has become world famous for these birds, who
visit the lake to
feed on algae that forms on the lake bed. They move back and forth, feeding and occasionally
and
spectacularly taking to flight, filling the sky over the lake with colour. The lake is extremely
variable in sizechanging
from 5 up to 30 sqkms in area. Nakuru has more than just flamingos. This is a major National
Park and an important sanctuary for Rhino. Both Black and White Rhino are found here, and
are often
seen resting under acacias by the Lake shore. The park abounds with game. There are huge
herds of
waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, the endangered Rothschild Giraffe and more. This is one of your
best
chances of seeing Leopard in Kenya, and there are several large prides of Lion.
