2-Day Lake Nakuru & Naivasha Safari Itinerary

Day 1 – Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park Safari

Your 2 day Kenya safari begins early as you depart Nairobi and drive down the spectacular Great Rift Valley escarpment. Enjoy photo stops at viewpoints before proceeding to Lake Nakuru National Park, famous for its dramatic scenery and rich biodiversity.

Morning Game Drive

Upon arrival, embark on your first Lake Nakuru National Park safari. The park is home to rhinos, lions, giraffes, zebras, waterbucks, and more than 400 bird species. Keep your camera ready for the dazzling Lake Nakuru flamingos whose pink hues shimmer across the water.

Afternoon Safari and Viewpoints

After lunch, continue exploring the park—drive to Baboon Cliff for sweeping views and spot elusive leopards resting in the trees. This is the perfect place to capture the essence of Kenya wildlife and national parks.

Later in the afternoon, exit the park and travel to Naivasha town for dinner and overnight stay at a lakeside lodge.

Day 2: Lake Naivasha Boat Safari, Crescent Island & Return to Nairobi

Wake up to the gentle calls of fish eagles and hippos grunting in the distance. After breakfast, step aboard for a tranquil Lake Naivasha boat ride—a highlight of this Nakuru and Naivasha itinerary. Glide across the calm waters as you watch hippos basking, see kingfishers dive for prey, and marvel at giraffes and buffalo grazing along the shore.

Optional Adventure at Hells Gate National Park

For the adventurous, we can extend the morning with a visit to Hells Gate National Park (optional)—Kenya’s only park where you can cycle and walk among wildlife. The dramatic cliffs, geothermal vents, and canyons make it an unforgettable stop for photography lovers.
