Our trip to Nakuru and boat ride in Lake Naivasha was nothing short of amazing. The guide Paul made sure we were always satisfied and showed us many different animals all around the lake. Lunch by lake naivasha and the boat ride made the tour even more special. Highly recommend!
A really special day trip. 3 hour drive in a large jeep to the Lake Nakuru Park which was stunning. We also did the boat ride which is a must do. Our guide, Chris, was very friendly and knowledgeable.
I was alone and Calvin sent me where to see animals I wanted to see (already done some safaris) The boat tour must be done ! A lot of nice birds may be seen during this safari , girafes, rhinos …
