Explore Nakuru

Just at our doorstep lies a real gem of the Great Rift Valley. In this protected area, you can enjoy the ecological diversity and varied habitats of the lake and surrounding grasslands. One of the few places in Kenya that you can see both White Rhino and the critically endangered Black Rhino. Perfect for game driving, bird-watching and hiking.

From dawn till dusk, there is always something to watch at Lake Elementaita in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. There are over 10,000 mammals and over 450 species of birds to spot, among them the endangered white pelican that breeds there. The main stars though are the huge flocks of flamingos - both of the lesser and greater variety - that turn vast swathes of the lake a rose-petal pink. Learn more about conservancy here.

For an alternative view of the wilderness, a guided nature walk promises great views, gentle exercise, and a fascinating insight into the world of African trees, flowers, insects, reptiles, birds and animals. Only when you venture into the wilderness on your own two feet, will you really appreciate its splendour. And only when you are a part of the landscape can you truly absorb its magic.

Kenya offers some of Africa’s most outstanding riding. With over 48,000 acres of pure Soysambu wilderness, traversing this vast expanse of game filled land on horseback with Lake Elementaita and the Great Rift Valley as a backdrop is a wholly enjoyable experience. Riding across open plains filled with zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and gazelle is absolutely exhilarating. From the Soysambu Stables, riding excursions are generally 2-3 hours in the mornings and/or afternoons.

Two-wheeled excursions are a great way to get to know new places and experience local cultures and wildlife. Our guides have identified special routes in and around Soysambu Conservancy that are perfect for cycling which allow you to enjoy the incredible scenery surrounding Lake Elementaita and the Great Rift Valley, and experience nature and local life up close. This quiet means of transportation is the ideal way to happen upon Kenya’s diverse wildlife in its purest form.

We offer a range of off-road motorbike safaris to some of the most spectacular areas around Nakuru through our partners at Dusty Helmets.
