After breakfast, depart by road for Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is renowned for its picturesque pink waters and thriving birdlife, particularly flamingos. Check into the exclusive Lake Elmenteita Serena Camp, a small and exclusive property perched along the sapphire shores of Lake Elmenteita.

This area has a rich history, as the nomadic Maasai have passed through it for centuries. "Elmenteita" derives from the Maasai phrase "place of dust."

The camp offers exclusive access to the Soysambu Conservancy, a RAMSAR site recognized for its international wetland importance.

The alkaline lake's rocky islands are the only East African nesting site for great white pelicans, and its algae and plankton support vast flocks of flamingos and other waterfowl.

Daytime game drives offer the chance to observe large herds of zebras, gazelles, elands, waterbucks, buffaloes, and smaller mammals like jackals, warthogs, and endangered Rothschild's giraffes.

After dark, optional night drives provide opportunities to spot nocturnal species like the aardvark and elusive leopard.

Walking safaris also allow you to experience the bush up close. Nearby attractions include Lake Nakuru National Park, where the main attraction is the abundant water birds, including the iconic flamingos. However, their numbers have declined in recent years. You may also spot white rhinos, buffaloes, and 56 mammal species. Other attractions include the Kariandusi prehistoric site.
