2 Days Lake Nakuru Overnight Safari

    •  
    Discover the Great Rift Valley Lakes Nakuru National Park in Kenya, famous for its bird spectacles of flamingos, pelicans, storks, and African Fish Eagles. Watch thousands of flamingoes feed on the banks of Lake Nakuru and spot migratory birds at Lake Elementaita.
     
    You'll also see buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, and impalas. Enjoy the beautiful scenery, including rocky cliffs, roaring hills, outstanding waterfalls, and natural vegetation. Take a break at the highest point, "Baboon Cliff," and explore the park's surroundings.
     
    As you venture further into the park, you'll come across the Makalia Falls, which is a breathtaking sight to behold. The sound of the waterfalls roaring down the cliffs is sure to leave you in awe of nature's beauty.
     
    The Nakuru National Park is not just home to wildlife but is also a place of significant historical importance. The park is a sanctuary for the endangered black and white rhinos, and it's the perfect place to learn about these majestic creatures and their conservation efforts in Kenya.
     
    The best time to visit the park is during the dry season when the animals gather around the water bodies, making it easier to spot them. You can also take a guided tour of the park and learn about the different species of wildlife that call the park home.
     
    In conclusion, a visit to the Nakuru National Park is a must for any wildlife enthusiast or nature lover. With its diverse flora and fauna, stunning scenery, and rich cultural heritage, it's one of the most beautiful and captivating locations in Kenya.

    In addition to birdwatching, you will also witness great herds of herbivores, such as rhinos, warthogs, buffaloes, waterbucks, gazelles, baboons, zebras, and the rare Rothschild giraffe. There's also a relatively high chance of facing some of Africa's great predators, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and serval cats.

    WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
    Your travel Manager usually handles most of your planning and preparation bit, but apparently, you are personally advised to know that there are a few peculiar things you must address to ensure your comfort, safety, and peace of mind. Please read through to identify the completeness of your checklist to avoid hiccups in your trip.
    VISA & PASSPORT
    Find out the countries you are traveling to if they require a Visa; if so, do you have it ready? Also, make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. 
     
    Please click here for assistance in applying for a U.S. Passport and relevant processing services.
    CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS.
    Visa:
    Most visas are best obtained before traveling to your destination. Therefore, you should make prior arrangements with the appropriate foreign consular representative to allow enough time between processing and the travel date.
    Entry Requirements for U.S. Passport Holders.
    For details on various countries based on the U.S. State Department information, please check with the consular office of the countries you plan to visit and/or click here.
    Double Entry and Multiple Entry Visas.
    Some itineraries might involve entering a country, leaving, and then later re-entering the same country. In such a case, you will require a double-entry or multiple-entry visa.
    When contacting a foreign consular representative, make sure to describe your itinerary clearly.
    Types of Visa
    There are two types of visas, single entry, and East Africa Tourist Visa. Please find your tour below to ensure you purchase the correct one.
    Single Entry eVisa:
    The eVisa costs $51 and must be obtained in advance. You will await approval via email (approx. 2 days), then download and print the eVisa to be presented upon entry to Kenya. The eVisa is valid for 3 months before travel.

    FLIGHT BOOKING
    Flight Preparation to Kenya from the USA.
    Flights from New York City to Nairobi: JFK to NBO. The fastest direct flight from New York City to Nairobi takes 14 hours and 20 minutes.
    The flight distance between New York City and Nairobi is 7,351 miles.
     
    However, several airlines offer itineraries to Kenya, and their bookings are all available online for your convenience. Your discretion in choosing which to use is allowed.
     
    Always ensure that you reconfirm the Flight.
    Luggage & Packing
    Checked bags are typically limited to a total dimension of 62 inches by adding length + width + height (example: 26"+26"+10" = 62”) and a maximum weight of 50 lbs (23kg).
    Carry on Luggage.
    We urge you to pack the items you would be without if your checked bags were lost in your carry-on bag. Prescription medications, eyeglasses, a change of clothes, a mobile phone and charger, valuables (including jewelry and cash), a passport, keys, insurance cards, and local contact information are a few things to remember.
     
    Additionally, we advise you to pack a change of clothing in your carry-on suitcase if your luggage is delayed or misplaced.
    DESTINATION INFORMATION
    Arrive On Time.  
    You should plan to check in at least three hours before the scheduled departure time for international flights and two hours prior to the scheduled departure time for domestic flights due to additional security checks.
    Connecting Passengers. 
    Connecting passengers from other US locations should check their bags all the way to their final destination. Some airlines do not permit the "interlining" of checked bags; each destination flight's luggage is checked separately.
    Destination Landing and Eventual Departure.
    Please finish all immigration procedures upon arrival and retrieve your bags. Check your voucher for detailed instructions if your program involves airport arrival shuttles, as they differ depending on the destination.
    Transfer.
    We kindly suggest that you give our representative 30 minutes extra time from the time of your booked transfer due to local traffic and other unavoidable situations.
    Transfers to and from the airport are included. You shouldn't worry about being late for your tour because such potential delays are considered when booking transfers.
    During Game Safaris.
    Ensure to pack your items in a soft-sided duffel bag and pack lightly due to the constrained space in safari vehicles. Using conventional luggage with rigid frames or hard plastic panels is not recommended.
    Please be aware that there is an environmental prohibition on single-use plastic bags.
    YOUR TOUR INFORMATION.
    Tour Vehicles.
    Expect to spend most of the time driving over roads that are often rough and bumpy in safari vehicles that are not air-conditioned.
    Safari vehicles have high ground clearance and require agility to embark and disembark.
    Tour journey in Destination Country.
    The number of participants on your trip may change as we accommodate visitors at various points along the schedule.
    There are many early mornings. Only "bush toilets" are available during game drives.
    Overland Sightseeing.
    There is a required seat rotation policy on our Customized Tour Vehicles, which your Tour Manager will coordinate to ensure that travelers on tour-guided safaris have a positive and equitable experience.
    Independent Activities.
    The schedule might suggest things to do in your free time, but this is not a recommendation or an endorsement of any particular vendor. 
    Participation in such activities should only be decided upon voluntarily and carefully.
    Souvenir Shopping.
    Most tourists like to bring back at least one memento from their travels.  Our Escorted itinerary has included a few shopping pit stops at suggested locations. These stops are intended to improve your experience by allowing you to inspect high-quality, locally-made goods that you might not be able to locate on your own.
    Gratuities.
    Tipping is always an individual decision. 
    Suggested Tipping: Kenya
    Safari Driver/Guide: US $10 per person per day
    Hotel porters and wait staff: At your discretion.
    ABOUT ACCOMMODATION & MONEY
    About Your Accommodations.
    Each hotel is chosen carefully, considering its overall quality, location, cost, food, service, and cleanliness. Standard twin-bedded (two single beds) rooms with private bathrooms are available in every room. Many accommodations are built in the traditional local style and have no air-conditioning. Some of our tours require walking or stairs between tents. During this tour, you may come close to wild animals whose actions can be unpredictable.
     
    Unless otherwise specified, choosing a room is always completely up to the hotel's management on a run-of-house basis. 
    Electricity in Safari Camps.
    Some camps and lodges rely on generators to supply electricity, which may not always be available. Travelers using power-dependent devices must inform the travel manager in advance so that arrangements can be made to keep them plugged in through the night.
    Electricity Specification
    Please note: The U.S. uses 120 volts, and you can purchase a converter and transformer at most hardware stores for your 120V appliances.
    Kenya - The voltage used is 220/240 volts, 3-pin square (UK standard)
    Tanzania - The voltage used is 230 volts, 3-pin square (UK standard).
    Hotel Check-in/ Check-out.
    Hotel check-in times are typically after 4:00 p.m., and check-out times are before midday. Hotels will typically let you store your stuff in their luggage room if you plan on arriving early or leaving late. If the hotel can check you in earlier or let you stay later, inquire at the front desk. 
    Currency.
    Before you leave your country, we advise that you get a small quantity of currency for the first country you'll be visiting. A smart strategy is to avoid carrying too much cash.
    ATMs accept most ATM cards in many countries but only dispense in the local currency.
    Credit Cards
    Even while credit cards are generally accepted, having local cash on hand is still a good idea. Let your credit card issuer know you will be traveling to prevent your card from being stopped for security concerns.  
    ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
    Staying Healthy While Traveling
    All travelers should familiarize themselves with local conditions, such as high altitude or required immunizations, which could affect their health. We recommend you consult with your personal healthcare provider, the Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov), and/or the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/en/) for their recommendations.
    Health Checks.
    Visitors to Kenya must carry proof of yellow fever vaccination if traveling through or from a country with a risk of yellow fever and are encouraged to consult their healthcare providers regarding malaria prophylaxis.
    Before signing up for this tour, we suggest you check with your healthcare provider.
    COMMUNICATION
