After breakfast, travelers embark on an outdoor excursion. The day is dedicated to admiring the park’s rich fauna and flora, renowned for its location at an altitude of 800 meters.
As they journey in open jeeps through the dry and picturesque areas of the reserve, guests observe game animals congregating along the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro River. This is where a majority of the wild animals, such as elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, and oryxes, can be spotted.
Later, guests transfer to the Samburu Simba Lodge for overnight accommodation. Lunch is provided during the day, and dinner awaits at the complex.
Samburu, Lake Naivasha
Today begins with an early wake-up call. Following a morning safari, the journey continues towards Lake Naivasha National Park. Here, a variety of wildlife, including hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles, elands, and occasionally cheetahs, lions, and leopards, can be spotted amidst the undulating grasslands surrounding the lake. The park’s avian diversity is a major attraction, particularly observable during a scenic boat cruise on the lake.
En route, a stop will be made to admire the impressive 74-meter Thompson Falls in Nyahururu. Situated within the Great Rift Valley, Nyahururu National Park, established in 1968, boasts breathtaking landscapes and is home to lions, leopards, hyenas, and various antelope species.
In the evening, accommodation awaits at Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge, nestled along the southern shore of Lake Naivasha. Offering stunning views, the lodge’s surroundings provide sanctuary to giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, and monkeys, often seen near the lodgings. Designed to harmonize with the natural environment, the lodges reflect the cultural motifs of Equatorial Africa. Guests can unwind by the poolside bars or enjoy a more intimate ambiance with copper fireplaces for evening drinks. Additional amenities include a tennis court, gym, and souvenir shop.
