Your Itinerary
In the morning, we drive to Bogoria as you enjoy the scenic views of the Great Rift valley. We arrive Lake Bogoria country club in time for lunch then we drive south to lake Bogoria game reserve. We get dropped at the park gate and with a game ranger, we start our walk for 3-4 hours towards South of lake Bogoria at the hot springs. From there, our safari vehicle will pick us up and return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
We depart with packed lunches and visit the Flamingos and the hot springs. The springs shoot higher at 15 -18ft in the morning. CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN WHILE WALKING NEAR THE HOT SPRINGS AS THESE ARE SUPER HOT.
Afterwards, we proceed south to the end while we turn to east side of the lake. We spent the whole day walking in open savannah with scattered bushes and we have the chance to see the greater kudu, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelles as well as zebras, monkeys and baboons.
Dinner and overnight stay at Lake Bogoria Hotel. Full board meals.
Early morning departure to Lake Naivasha. Afternoon game viewing walk at the privately owned Crescent Island, which is a peninsula on the Eastern shore of Lake Naivasha.
