Arrive in Nairobi and transfer to your hotel for an overnight stay.
Accommodation: 1 night Tamarind Tree.
Tamarind Tree Hotel is ideally located just 5 kms to the southwest of Nairobi within the spacious Carnivore grounds and its iconic Carnivore Restaurant. The hotel offers easy access to all parts of the city, its national park, as well as to the country’s many diverse attractions via the neighbouring Wilson Airport and Southern Bypass. The nearby Langata and Karen suburbs are among the liveliest and most popular in Nairobi with world-class shopping malls and excellent restaurants.
After breakfast, drive to Lake Naivasha for lunch. Enjoy a boat trip on the lake and a walking safari in Crescent Island Game Reserve. (BLD)
Accommodation: 1 night Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge.
Set in one hundred and fifty acres of grassland studded with Acacia bushes and trees, the resort is not only home to resident giraffe, waterbuck and both Vervet and Colobus monkeys, but it is also a night stop for the hippos when they leave the lake every night to come and trim the grass on the expansive lawns.
With Sopa’s traditional and conscientious care for the environment, they have carefully positioned all the buildings on the property so as not to fell any of the many trees there. As a result of this, they had to come up with a radically innovative and artistic design for the main public area building which now snakes its way between the trees with long and graceful curves.
It is also why you might well ask just why the two swimming pools with a children’s section and a pool complex with its bar, snack kitchen, pizzeria and health spa; tennis court; two conference halls with their four differently sized meeting areas, and stables are so widely set apart.
Drive to Lake Nakuru National Park for morning and afternoon game drives, looking for rhinos. (BLD)
Accommodation: 1 night Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge.
Located on a range of hills that form the western limits of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, the lodge offers spectacular views over the vastness of Africa. The lodge also overlooks Lake Nakuru and its surrounding National Park, one that is a paradise for bird watchers and wildlife lovers alike. Lake Nakuru National Park is mainly a wooded and bushy grassland with a wide ecological diversity and characteristic habitats that range from the lake waters to the escarpment and ridges.
Journey past Mt Kenya to Samburu National Reserve, stopping for lunch in Nanyuki. Enjoy two nights with full day game drives, in search of the ‘Big Five’. (BLD)
