Kenya's Hidden Flamingo Lake

Lake Elementaita between Naivasha and Nakuru is a UNESCO World Heritage alkaline lake — thousands of flamingos, pelican colonies, and far fewer tourists than Nakuru. The Sleeping Warrior mountain and Kariandusi prehistoric site add depth.

General Tips for Kenya Visitors

Every season is safari season: Kenya is a year-round destination. Dry season (June–October, December–March) offers better wildlife viewing; rainy season (April–May, November) brings greener landscapes and fewer tourists.

Health: Malaria prophylaxis recommended. Only drink bottled water. Sun protection is essential — the equator is close.

Safety: Kenya is safe for tourists. Our guides accompany you everywhere. Keep valuables in hotel safes.

Tipping: Safari guide approx. 15–20 USD/day, driver approx. 10 USD/day, hotel staff 1–2 USD. Tips are greatly appreciated.

Visa: Most nationalities need an eTA (electronic Travel Authorization), applied for online. Cost approx. 30 USD.
