A plan for your your day trip to Lake Nakuru National Park

Early in the morning after your breakfast at around 6:30am, you will be picked up by your Kenya safari guide from your hotel. He will give you a very short briefing about your 1-day Kenya wildlife safari excursion in Lake Nakuru National Park. After the short briefing, you will embark on your journey to Lake Nakuru National Park driving through the Great African Rift Valley driving for about 3 hours from Nairobi. While at the rift valley view point, your guide will stop so you can admire the breathtaking views of the escarpment. Arrive at the park, check in and start away with a game drive. At the beginning of your game drive, your driver guide will open the roof top for good views and photography during your game drive in your 4x4 safari Land cruiser.

In the afternoon after your lunch, you will do another game drive in the park along the lake shores. While there, you may decide to get out of the car, take a walk and have a close look at animals and the birds with your guide to help you identify them by names. Later on, after exploring the park, you will proceed back to Nairobi arriving late in the afternoon dropping you off at your hotel or Airport for your flight.
