2-Day Lake Nakuru Birding Safari

About this tour

Travel with Paul Kungu on a two-day birding safari centred on Lake Nakuru and its Rift Valley habitats. The program includes one overnight stay, giving the group time for birding around the lake, acacia woodland and other accessible habitats without turning the visit into a rushed day trip.

The exact route is built after inquiry. Paul confirms the pickup point, number of travellers and the places to include before giving a final price. Depending on the agreed itinerary, the journey may also pass Lake Elementaita or Lake Naivasha. These stops are options, not fixed inclusions, and the final sequence is confirmed with the traveller before booking.

Lake Nakuru can offer flamingos, pelicans, storks, kingfishers, raptors, waders and woodland birds, while the wider park also supports varied wildlife. Sightings and flock sizes depend on water levels, weather, access and natural bird movements, so no species can be guaranteed. Send an inquiry through BirdWatch with your dates, group size, pickup location and preferred stops so Paul can propose the itinerary, overnight arrangement and current price.
