1-Day Private Lake Nakuru National Park Day-Tour

The 1-Day Private Lake Nakuru National Park Day-Tour offers a full-day wildlife experience from Nairobi to one of Kenya’s best-known national parks in the Great Rift Valley. Famous for its rhino conservation, Rothschild’s giraffes, scenic lake and diverse birdlife, Lake Nakuru is an excellent choice for travellers who want to experience Kenya’s wildlife without an overnight safari.

Travel in a pop-up roof minivan with a professional safari guide, passing through the Great Rift Valley before entering the park for game drives. Search for black and white rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, waterbuck and other wildlife. The park also supports a variety of waterbirds and other bird species, although flamingo numbers vary with lake conditions and food availability.

With private transport, the day can be tailored around your interests and pace. However, the journey from Nairobi involves several hours on the road in each direction, so an early start is important to maximise time inside the park.

• Travellers staying in Nairobi who want a full-day wildlife excursion.

• Couples, families and small private groups.

• Wildlife enthusiasts interested in rhinos and giraffes.
