ASSC-007: 6 Days - Rift Valley Lakes
(Lake Baringo, Bogoria and nakuru) /Maasai Mara Wildlife Camping
Safari
-
Day 1, Lake Baringo
pick up from your hotel at 0730hrs and drive via the scenic floor
of the spectacular Rift Valley from the
top of an escarpment, dotted with its string of lakes, that is a
great introduction to the natural beauty of the region. Camp at
Roberts camp next to
freshwater Lake Baringo where there is the option of taking a boat
trip to search for hippo and crocodile and view the abundant
birdlife around the lake shore.
Day 2, Lake Bogoria /Nakuru
From Barin go it's a short drive to Lake Bogoria, a shallow soda
lake set amidst beautiful scenery. Like the other Kenyan soda lakes,
it has no outlet and the intense evaporation leads to high levels of
salt and minerals, which flamingos love and from a distance the
surface of the water appears bright pink. Next to the lake are
steaming hot springs and geysers, but don't be tempted to put your
hands into the water if you are at all fond of your skin! Continue
south to Lake Nakuru National Park, another shallow soda lake famous
for its birdlife, and the park is also home to lion, many rhino and
if you're very lucky you may spot a leopard in an Acacia tree.
