5 Days Samburu-Lake Nakuru-Lake Naivasha Tour/Safari
Overview
This will definitely be such an amazing safari. The combo safari will include 3 amazing destinations: Lake Nakuru National Park, Samburu National Park and Lake Naivasha. The amazing bit of this safari is how it will give you the chance to explore the Samburu semi-arid place, the flamingo densely populated and low-lying Lake Nakuru, and finally the nice-looking fresh water Lake Naivasha. Each of the three tour zones have wonderful features that make them so unique for you.
Samburu National Reserve is rather one unique one, given that it lies in the semi-arid zone of the Northern Kenya. However, despite its geographical location there is much of fauna that you will like. Among them are lions, reticulated giraffes, Somali ostriches, beisa oryxs, cheetahs, elephants, and rare grevy’s zebra.
Lake Nakuru National Park on the other hand is perhaps the opposite of Samburu National Reserve. Its lies low, at the bottom of the Rift Valley, and is such a calm park, with over 400 bird species. The flamingos, which in their millions dominate the lake paints it pinkish. You would be amazed by a scene of the lake. At the park, you will have the chance to visit the rhino sanctuary, where you will see the well-kept rhinos. In the park, you will most likely see other animals such as Rothschild Giraffe, buffalos, lions, elephants, gazelles, among others.
Lake Naivasha on its part come with its uniqueness. It’s such a huge mass of freshwater lake. In the park, you will take a boat ride, and perhaps pay a visit to the famous Hells Gate.

This is the best tour on the east coast! It was amazing how many places we visited and what great memories we made!
We always stay at here when in town. The location is great, staff is wonderful and we love the overall feel. Beautiful view from the here.
It is a great place to shop not too far from New York. We took the bus from Port Authority and traveled through the countryside to get there.
