RIFT VALLEY and   THOMSON'S FALLS SAFARI

Package 1

RIFT VALLEY and THOMSON'S FALLS SAFARI

Itinerary

Day 1. Travel to Ol Pejeta Nature Reserve

After climbing Mount Kenya, our clients usually stay at Blue Line hotels. This hotel offers standard mid-range rooms and no camping site. After breakfast, we will leave the hotel for the Ol Pejeta nature reserve. The day will be spent at the nature reserve, where you can see lions, leopards, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and many other species.

This nature reserve is exceptional because it is the largest sanctuary in East Africa for the endangered black rhino and probably the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees. We will have lunch at the nature reserve, and in the evening, we will return to the hotel for dinner and overnight sleep.

Approx travel time 1 hour

Day 2. Thomson's Fall to Lake Nakuru National Park

After breakfast, we go to Lake Nakuru National Park, make a stopover at Thomson's Fall and let you marvel at the breathtaking waterfalls. We then continue to Lake Nakuru via the Great Rift Valley, arriving in Nakuru a few hours before dinner so we can visit the local town before heading to our campsite for dinner and overnight.

Approx travel time 4 hours

Day 3. Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha National Park

After an early breakfast, we will go to Nakuru National Park. This park is famous for its flamingos. The park also has a wide variety of wild animals. You will not miss an opportunity to see black and white rhinos, hippos, buffalos, giraffes, lions, leopards, and many other species of birds. There are over 400 species of birds in this park. Ornithologists and wildlife filmmakers have also used the park for their work. Late in the afternoon, we drive a short distance to Lake Naivasha, where we camp by the lakeshore. There is a good bar, restaurant and a swimming pool nearby. It is possible to see hippos at night near the campsite.

Day 4. Hiking tours in Hell's Gate Gorge and Safari in Hell's Gate National Park

We will spend part of the day at Hell's Gate. It is only 15 minutes drive from our camp. Hell's Gate has one of the most scenic landscapes. There are hot springs, great climbing, Maasai history and much more. You can cycle, walk or combine both through the park. It is an experience to cycle alongside giraffes, zebras, gazelles, warthogs and many other species. There are no predators, so you should be safe while riding. We will have a picnic and continue exploring the gorge before leaving the park in the mid-afternoon. After this, you can either return to camp to relax by the pool and unwind or go shopping and explore other attractions.

Day 5. Lake Naivasha boat safari, then back to Nairobi

After breakfast, we will go on a boat trip to Lake Naivasha to see hippos and many birds. This is a beautiful way to end your trip. After lunch, we will start our journey back to Nairobi, and you will then be dropped off at your hotel or the airport for your journey home.
