Kenya Safari Tour Packages for Holidays and Adventure
Explore acacia woodland, open grassland and the shores of a Rift Valley lake with your own vehicle and guide.
Exclusive road vehicle and guide · Written itinerary
A place with its own character
Lake Nakuru National Park is a rewarding choice for travellers drawn to rhinos, birdlife and changing lake landscapes. Its relatively compact circuit also fits naturally between Nairobi, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara.
Lake Nakuru works as a day trip from Nairobi, an overnight park stay or part of a longer Rift Valley circuit.

Private road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. The itinerary and quotation specify accommodation, park entries, transfers and selected activities.
Add a night, change the route or tell us what matters most. Use these itineraries as a starting point for a private trip.
Look a little closer
Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.
Nakuru protects both black and white rhinos. Give your guide time to explore suitable habitat; every sighting depends on the animals and conditions.
Lake Nakuru supports varied waterbirds. Flamingo concentrations change with lake levels and feeding conditions.
Mix game drives with designated viewpoints when accessible. Acacia woodland, grassland and the lake offer different photographic opportunities.
Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha are separate destinations. Boat excursions belong to the Naivasha part of a combined itinerary.
Choose a base that makes sense
Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge provides a base inside the national park for wildlife drives and access to the lake landscape.
Nakuru town accommodation sits outside the national park. Transfers to the gate and each planned park entry form part of the itinerary.
Split your stay when boat trips and lakeside time matter too; the two lakes offer different experiences.
The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.
A little planning goes a long way
Lake Nakuru works as a day trip from Nairobi, an overnight park stay or part of a longer Rift Valley circuit.
Lake Nakuru is visited throughout the year. Rainfall and lake levels shape driving routes, shoreline access, vegetation and birdlife.
Entry fees follow the park or conservancy authority, visitor category, age, travel dates and activities. The safari quotation itemises the entries included in the itinerary.
Park road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. Tour minivans and Land Cruiser 4x4s provide the transport options, with the vehicle matched to the itinerary and party.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…
