Kenya Safari Expeditions
7 days in the areas of Naivasha & Nakuru
(Page 1/2)
This is one of our shorter hiking safari expeditions with lots of game, reduced road transfers and good accommodation (no camping) in areas not visited by mass tourism. The starting point of this hiking vacation in Kenya is Lake Elementaita with a breathtaking panorama over the Rift Valley. Lake Nakuru is colored pink with thousands of flamingos and Lake Naivasha has a huge population of hippos. Hike in the savannas in Hell’s Gate, Crater Lake and Crescent Island that are home to plains game such as baboons, giraffes, elands, zebras, various gazelles and warthogs. We handle all tour logistics leaving you free to enjoy your safari expedition. Read more about our walking safaris in Kenya before you book your tour.

ITINERARY OF THE 7 DAYS HIKING VACATION
Day 1. Nairobi
Arrival at the airport at night and reception by Ontdek Kenya. Transfer from the airport to the Nairobi Safari Club or equivalent hotel in Nairobi.
Day 2. Hiking Safari expedition: Lake Elementaita. O/N Sunbird Lodge
After breakfast there's the briefing by the guide about the tour. By 8.30 a.m. we leave Nairobi via the Nakuru road to the Rift valley. The Nairobi - Nakuru road is on a contour along the rim of the Rift valley and on a viewpoint we will be able to see our whole route for the tour. We arrive in time for lunch at the recently opened Sunbird Lodge where we'll stay for 2 nights. This small and luxurious lodge is built on a cliff overlooking Lake Elementaita and all the surrounding hills. The panorama is unmatched. Sunbird is not just a place to overnight, it's a place for total relaxation.
Elementaita may not have the big name of Lake Nakuru but its scenic beauty is unmatched. A short descent takes us to the shores of the alkaline lake. From there we proceed up to the yellow fever tree forest, a haven for bird watchers. We will stop on the way to look at the numerous birds and to enjoy the landscape. To wear off the jet lag we keep this walk relatively short. After returning to the lodge there's an optional visit to the nearby Kariandusi prehistoric site, a site first discovered by Louis Leakey.
Day 3. Hiking Vacation: Lake Nakuru. O/N Sunbird Lodge
The nearby Lake Nakuru National Park is the oldest park of Kenya. It's not only known for its thousands of flamingos but also for the vast herds of buffaloes, tens of rhinos and cats like leopard and lion. Of the big five only the elephant is missing. We do a game drive around the lake and have lunch at a viewpoint over the lake that is hardly visited by tourists.
