Detailed 5-Day Kenya Big5 Safari

Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Nakuru with love of Rhinos and Flamingos

Our 5-Day Kenya Big5 Safari starts by driving to Lake Nakuru National Park with a stopover at the Great Rift Valley View Point. Across the equator, southwards of Bogoria, lies the Rift Valley’s most famous bird Sanctuary-Lake Nakuru- Known all over the world for its flamingos. The lake’s water is alkaline and it is recognized as being one of the natural wonders of the world.

Lake Nakuru is now a rhino sanctuary, harboring a population of over 40 black and over 60 white rhinos, but the flamingoes, of course, represent jewel of the park. At various times of the year, the population of Flamingoes may surpass the 2million mark in the residence, forming a stunningly beautiful deep pink band around the edge of the lake shore.
