Lake Nakuru National Park is a magical blend of avian splendor and classic safari wildlife. Its rhino sanctuary hosts thriving populations of white and black rhino, while the rare Rothschild’s giraffe glides through acacia forests. Expect surprises at every turn – waterbucks, hyenas, baboons, and monkeys roam the shores and woodlands, adding to the park’s enchanting allure.

At Lake Naivasha and the nearby Crescent Island Sanctuary, your adventure deepens with a variety of experiences. Beyond game drives in your 4×4 Jeep, you can glide across the lake on a boat safari or tread softly on a walking safari, getting closer to the wildlife than you ever imagined. These two days will brim with new sights, sounds, and memories that linger like a dream. Have a special wish?
