wine and flowers. During our full day field trip to Lake Naivasha, we study the birds of the region such as herons,

Dominated by the shadow of Mt. Longonot, few lakes in the
world have a more commanding or spectacular setting than
Naivasha.
We also have an excursion to the Elsa mere Center.

and elephant as well cheetah, zebra, giraffe and vast herds
of plain antelope and numerous and other wildlife. Our

landscape. After lunch and some time to relax and perhaps
take a dip in the pool, you will depart with your driver
