Day 3. Kenya Hiking Safari Adventure: Lake Nakuru National Park

We will spend the day in the nearby Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its thousands of flamingos as well as vast herds of buffaloes and tens of rhinos. There is a good chance to see cats such as leopard, cheetah and lion.

Day 4. African Safari: Crescent Island Hike

This tour remains in the Rift Valley lakes so we now move to the recently opened Lake Naivasha Sawela Lodge, our base for three days, in time for lunch. The green lawns are shaded by mature acacias that stretch down to the lake's shore.

In the afternoon we do an African game viewing hike at the privately owned Crescent Island, which is a peninsula on the eastern shore of Lake Naivasha. There is a lot of easy to see game e.g. giraffes, waterbucks, elands, zebras and impalas. It is also a heaven for birds with +200 species recorded.

We return to the Sawela Lodge in time for afternoon tea.

Day 5. Kenya Safari Adventure: Hell's Gate Hike

After breakfast we do a short transfer to the gate of the park. This is a unique park where hiking is done in the middle of wildlife. Giraffes, zebras, warthogs and many types of gazelles are found here. The first part of this walk is done in typical flat African savanna in a volcanic area with huge rock boundaries. There are camphor and acacia trees all over and this is where to look for the giraffe as they mainly feed on them. A picnic lunch provided by the hotel will be at a viewpoint on the Hell's Gate gorge.

The last part of our hiking day is in the canyon with wild vegetation and running water from geysers. Conditions allowing, we will walk in the Side Gorge where the rocks have split to leave only a walking path. We climb back to the Rangers Post for transfer back to the Sawela Lodge.

Day 6. African Safari Adventure: Crater Lake

An early rising will ensure that one gets another magical display of the various birds. After breakfast we do a transfer by bus to the nearby Crater Lake Game Sanctuary. It is a lesser lake in the Rift Valley but a place where nature is at its best.We do a walk in the nature reserve followed by a hike on the top of the crater from where we see the lake from various angles. Pleasant interruptions on the walks will be from giraffes, black and white Colobus monkeys, elands and a range of gazelles.
