Nairobi: Lake Bogoria Flamingos Day Trip with Hotel Pickup

See the dramatic spectacle of thousands of flamingos at Lake Bogoria on a day trip from Nairobi. Spot other bird species and wildlife, and enjoy a stop for a late lunch.
See flocks of Lake Bogoria flamingos on a full-day trip from Nairobi to an alkaline lake in the Rift Valley. With up to two million flamingos in some seasons, Lake Bogoria is a dramatic spectacle when it’s awash in bright pink, but it’s also home to dozens of other bird species and wildlife, including little grebes, little bee-eaters, buffalo, cheetah, zebra, and greater kudu.

Enjoy complimentary hotel pick up from any Nairobi hotel. After a brief introduction, enjoy your ride in an air conditioned mini Van for 3.5 hours. Your arrival is welcomed by thousands of birds hovering above the lake. Leave the car behind for a walking tour around the lake.

The lake is alkaline, feeding blue-green algae which in turn feed flamingoes. At times the number of flamingoes feeding in the lake may be as high as two million. Raptors such as tawny eagles prey on the flamingoes. In total, 135 species of bird have been recorded. They include little grebe, pratincole, swift, little bee-eater, cape wigeon, yellow-billed stork, African spoonbill, augur buzzard, gabar goshawk, water dikkop, great tit, starling, hornbill and crombec.

The reserve has a herd of the relatively uncommon Greater Kudu. Other large mammals include buffalo, zebra, cheetah, baboon, warthog, caracal, spotted hyena, impala and dik dik. After more than 3 hours in the lake, head back to Nairobi with a stop for late lunch at the nearby resort (at your own expense).
