Lake Nakuru lies in the Volcano-strewn Rift Valley, one of the shares of 8 lakes, which stretch the length of Kenya from Tanzania to Ethiopia.  The 160kms drive from Nairobi passes through highland farms of the Kikuyu people before descending an escarpment into the dramatic landscape of the Rift.

Lunch is taken in the park and is followed by an extensive tour, which the park abounds.  On the return journey to Nairobi a stop is made at Lake Naivasha where tea is taken among the fever trees and where bird-watchers will be delighted in the fantastic array of birdlife.
