I booked a one-day safari to Lake Nakuru National Park from Nairobi with Lejama Tours this past July, and it exceeded all my expectations! Visiting during the dry July season was ideal the cool Great Rift Valley weather made for comfortable game viewing, and the wildlife activity around the lake was incredible.
Our day began with a punctual early-morning pickup in Nairobi. We traveled in a well-maintained safari vehicle featuring a pop-up roof, which proved essential once inside the park. It offered 360-degree views for spotting wildlife across the acacia woodlands and lakeshore. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and handled the scenic drive down the Rift Valley escarpment effortlessly.
Our tour guide Mr Japheth Mwanzia, made the experience unforgettable. He was professional, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes and tracking expertise, we spotted rare black and white rhinos grazing up close, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, lions, and flocks of flamingos and pelicans lining the water. He also drove us up to Baboon Cliff for a panoramic view of the entire lake basin. His pacing was spot-on, ensuring we never felt rushed despite the single-day itinerary.
Lejama Tours executed the entire day seamlessly, balancing comfortable transit, expert guiding, and magnificent wildlife sightings. I highly recommend booking with them for anyone wanting a high-quality day safari from Nairobi
