peaceful oasis in the dry thorn country, bursting with birdlife
and with a captivating characteristic of its own. L Baringo

Island with the largest nesting colony of Goliath Herons in
East Africa and the escarpment immediately west of Campi ya
Samaki on the western side of the lake. It is the home of

Hornbill. Apart from birds, the lake houses a sizeable population
of crocodile's and hippos. Meals

The park provides a sanctuary for the rhino. Lake Nakuru has
always been considered a flamingo lake par excellence. The
contrast and apparent dislocation between the shallow soda
lake with its primeval birds and the animated woods all around
it give Lake Nakuru National Park a very distinctive appeal.
Dinner and overnight at a lodge overlooking the lake.

After breakfast, depart for Masai Mara - the land of vast
migrating herds. Arrive in time for lunch. In the afternoon,
