Kenya Explorer Programmes

Lake Naivasha is the second largest freshwater lake in Kenya and the highest of the lakes in the Rift Valley. Here you will find an incredible variety of bird species as well as other local wildlife. Proceeding through the Rift Valley on foot, you will discover scenery and beauty that is unmatched in the rest of the country. At Lake Elementait you can visit natural hot springs and chat to the local Masai herdsman you are sure to meet as you cross the savannah. End your trip with a visit to the Nakuru National Park, the oldest in Kenya and famed as a home to thousands of flamingos, vast herds of buffalo and rhinos and many of Africa's big cats or travel to the acclaimed Masai Mara as you go in search of the 'big five.'
