Depart from Nairobi and drive northwestwards. We’ve barely done one hours of our safari when our driver/guide pulls to the roadside and points at the Great Rift Valley from a vantage point. With its steep escarpments, volcanic mountains and lakes, the Rift Valley is arguably the most spectacular aftermath of the powerful forces of tension that rocked the earth’s crust millions of years ago. we descend into the Great Rift Valley and drive to Lake Nakuru National Park. Lake Nakuru is a world famous bird sanctuary with more than one million flamingoes feeding on Spiraling platensis,a blue-green alga which grows in the lake. There are also lots of other birds and plenty of game species. Dinner and overnight at Lion Hill Lodge.

Depart L.Nakuru N. Park after Breakfast and drive to Hell’s gate National park arriving in time for lunch. After lunch you will take a walk into the Gorge. Walking in the gorge is an amazing experience as you will see during this expedition water eroded walls, so narrow that they almost block out the sky, several hot and cold waterfalls, hot water springs and colorful strata and rock formations. The place is also popular for film production as the Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life, King Solomon’s Mines and Mountains of the Moon used the gorge as backdrop of their movie. Dinner and overnight at Sopa Lodge.
