This day safari from Nairobi takes you to some of the best Kenya safari destinations that is Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha-Crescent Island. Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the best national parks in Kenya given that it has one of the Rift Valley soda Lakes i.e. Lake Nakuru which is famous for its large number of flamingoes. Lake Nakuru is also home to wildlife such as Rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, leopards, lions and other wild animals.
Lake Naivasha on the other hand is a fresh water renowned for its rich biodiversity, particularly its birdlife. It is home to over 400 species of birds, including fish eagles, pelicans, and kingfishers. The lake also supports a significant population of hippos. We will explore Lake Naivasha by boat before docking at Crescent Island where we will undertake walking safaris. Crescent Island is known for its rich wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, impalas, and various bird species. The absence of predators makes it a safe haven for herbivores and a peaceful spot for birdwatching.
