Shortly after leaving Nairobi you come to the edge of the Great Rift Valley. A spectacular view opens up with the land dropping  dramatically from conifer forests to dry and dusty plains way below. Distinctive shapes of extinct volcanoes rise from the floor of the Rift Valley and in the distance is the glint of lake water. You drive down into the Rift Valley to Lake Nakuru National Park where lunch is served at your lodge. The park is best known for its flocks of pink flamingoes, sometimes numbering over a million. The park is rich in other bird life and home to many animals including a proliferation of water buck and warthogs. This park is also a rhino sanctuary. You return to Nairobi at approximately 18.30 hours.
