Your unforgettable journey with Mournic Adventures kicks off with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or directly from the airport. From there, you'll embark on a scenic drive to Hell’s Gate National Park, known for its dramatic terrain, towering cliffs, and geothermal activity. Once at the park, hop on a bicycle for an adventurous ride through the rugged landscape—an exciting and immersive way to explore the area. As you cycle through the park, you’ll likely encounter zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and other wildlife roaming freely in their natural habitat, with the Great Rift Valley cliffs providing a spectacular backdrop.

After your biking expedition, the adventure continues as you make your way to the serene Lake Naivasha.

In the evening, check in at Burch Resort—nestled along the lake’s edge—where you can unwind after a day full of activity. Soak in the tranquility of the area, watch the sun dip below the horizon, and relish a calm, peaceful night in nature.

Day 2 :

Lake Naivasha - Lake Nakuru

After enjoying a hearty breakfast at your lodge, begin the day’s journey toward Lake Nakuru National Park, one of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife sanctuaries. Located in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, this park is internationally renowned for its dazzling flocks of flamingos that often line the lake’s edge, creating a pink-hued spectacle. Equally remarkable is the park’s vital role in rhino conservation, offering visitors the rare chance to see both black and white rhinos in their natural habitat.

Upon arrival, set out on a game drive through the park’s rich and varied landscapes. Traverse acacia woodlands, expansive savannahs, and areas of marshland as you search for an array of wildlife, including buffaloes, zebras, impalas, waterbucks, baboons, and if you're lucky, leopards or lions resting under the shade. The highlight, however, remains the rhinos—majestic and endangered—offering one of the best viewing opportunities in East Africa.

Midday, enjoy a picnic lunch in one of the park's scenic spots or opt to dine at a lodge within the park, where delicious cuisine and panoramic views enhance the experience. After lunch, continue exploring the park, stopping at breathtaking viewpoints such as Baboon Cliff, which offers sweeping views over the lake and surrounding landscapes.
