Kenya budget Camping
Safari-5
Days Lake Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru, Maasai Mara Wildlife.
Day 1, Lake Baringo
pick up from your hotel at 0730hrs and drive via the scenic
floor of the spectacular Rift Valley from the top of an
escarpment, dotted with its string of lakes, that is a great
introduction to the natural beauty of the region. Camp at
Roberts camp next to freshwater Lake Baringo where there is
the option of taking a boat trip to search for hippo and
crocodile and view the abundant birdlife around the lake
shore.
Day 2, Lake Bogoria-Nakuru
From Baringo it's a short drive to Lake Bogoria, a shallow
soda lake set amidst beautiful scenery. Like the other
Kenyan soda lakes, it has no outlet and the intense
evaporation leads to high levels of salt and minerals, which
flamingos love and from a distance the surface of the water
appears bright pink. Next to the lake are steaming hot
springs and geysers, but don't be tempted to put your hands
into the water if you are at all fond of your skin! Continue
south to Lake Nakuru National Park, another shallow soda
lake famous for its birdlife, and the park is also home to
lion, many rhino and if you're very lucky you may spot a
leopard in an Acacia tree. Overnight at Lake Nakuru Guest

been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos,
hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo,
warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many

of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the
predators of the savanna- lion, cheater
