The Itinery:
Day 1 – Lake Baringo Depart Nairobi in the morning stopping enroute to view the spectacular Great Rift Valley. Stopping for lunch along the way then make camp at Lake Baringo, a world famous bird sanctuary, late in the afternoon. We enjoy an evening boat ride in search of hippo, crocodile, and fish eagle.
Lake Baringo is the most Northerly of Kenya’s small Rift Valley lakes; creased with papyrus and well developed acacia forest. Hippos, crocodiles and monitor lizards are effortlessly seen from the shore, as is a magnificent display of water birds. This is Kenya’s bird watching centre with over 1200 different species native to the country and more than 450 sighted here. A bird watcher’s haven but beware, this is malaria land so its best to come prepared with plenty of mosquito spay.
Day 2 – Lake Bogoria & Lake Nakuru A 30km drive south to the spectacular Lake Bogoria with hot springs and geysers being the main attractions. The lake has been called ‘the new home of the flamingo’ with a nomad population of up to two million birds.
Lunch and then proceed for an afternoon game drive at the Lake Nakuru National Park, which covers 180 sq km. The park is home to warthogs, waterbuck, buffaloes, reedbucks, and the occasional leopard. White and black rhinos were introduced to the park some years ago and you may find white rhino at the southern end. The park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists’ delight with more than 400 species of bird found here. We spend the night at a campsite just outside of town.
Day 3, 4 & 5 – Maasai Mara We head south to Narok, camping in our permanent Talek riverside campsite situated at the edge of the park. Here we have stand-up tents with beds for use as well as small wood cabins for those after a touch more comfort. Hot showers are available in the camp and meals are served in the dinning mess or in the open.
Day 6 – Nairobi
We break camp and drive to Narok where Maasai souvenirs can be bought, then back to Nairobi by late afternoon
