Tailor Made Trip
Itinerary
DAY 1
We head out Early in the morning and drive through the rich Kikuyu farmland to the edge of the Rift Valley. We then ascend the escarpment and drive via Great Rift Valley view points. Stopping along the way for photographs.
Once in Kisumu we will get to our hotel for check in and briefing of the itinerary.
DAY 2
After breakfast, we head to Simbi Lake, is a small crater lake, measuring about a kilometer in radius. It is worthwhile for a traveler to visit the mythological Simbi that was once a village that sank the name “Simbi Nyaima”
Adjacent is Otok Swamp that hosts the Flamingos from Lake Nakuru and Simbi Nyaima, making Otok Village one of the many tourist sites in the County. The birds produce a rhythmic buzzing sound as one move too close to them making them uncomfortable. They spend most of the day at the Swamp and fly back to Lake Simbi at dusk.
Return to the hotel with dinner.
