Excursions in Rift Valley
Optional extra day-drips and excursions possible whilst your staying within Rift Valley. Talk to us: these are usually best arranged before you go.
Lake Bogoria National Reserve
Half or full day
Seeing the Rift Valley's iconic pink flocks of flamingos massing on one of the region's lakes can be a somewhat hit-and-miss affair since lake water levels rose after about 2014 and the ecology of several of them changed significantly. Lake Bogoria, however, in the northern Rift, still usually retains some large flocks of many thousands of lesser flamingos.
More about Lake Bogoria visit
Lake Nakuru Safari
Half or full day
Drive into one of Kenya's best-known national parks to explore the lakeshore, woodlands, cliffs and plains around this iconic lake. While the flamingos may no longer be here, Nakuru has some key mammals, including both black and southern white rhinos, lions, leopards and Rothschild giraffes.
