Pick up from Nairobi and drive through the scenery of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley to explore Lake Nakuru National Park, which is famous for the spectacular pink flamingos that gather on its salt encrusted shores as well as for other bird species including African fish eagles and pelicans.
The woodland and grassland surrounding the soda lake are home to an abundance of animals. Picnic lunch in the park. Continue to Lake Elementaita for dinner and overnight at Sunbird Lodge.
