Your private safari begins with a pick-up from your hotel or the airport in Nairobi by the Jossec Safaris team. After a short briefing, you'll drive through the scenic Rift Valley floor, arriving in Lake Nakuru in time for lunch. In the afternoon, enjoy a game drive through Lake Nakuru National Park, home to white rhinos, buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, and flamingos. Keep your eyes open for leopards often found resting on the acacia trees.
