Lake Nakuru is one of the alkaline Rift Valley lakes with its shores populated at times by more than one million flamingos which has been called "the greatest bird spectacle on earth". Game drives offer you the opportunity to get as close as ten meters to this spectacle. Enjoy the variety of wildlife combined with its striking and varied landscapes.

Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus and surrounded by forests. Naivasha is also a wonderful birding destination and boat trips on the lake are a great way to spend an afternoon or morning. And, in the evening, enjoy stunning sunsets; with the haunting call of a Fish Eagle high over the lake bringing the day to a perfect end.

Accommodation: Flamingo Hill Camp or Lakira Camp

From August to October, this is the sight of one of the most spectacular and dramatic sites on earth - the annual migration of one million wildebeests and 200,000 zebras following the seasonal rains in a quest for the best pastures, finding along the way the crocodile-crowded river.
