From Nairobi: Lake Magadi 2-Day Trip with Game Drive & Hike

Discover the beauty of Kenya’s southern Rift Valley on a 2-day trip from Nairobi. Explore Lake Magadi, relax in natural hot springs, and go on a game drive.
Begin your adventure with a 6:00 AM pickup from your location in Nairobi. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with an experienced driver-guide. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley, with short stopovers at viewpoints to capture stunning photos of the vast plains, mountains, and escarpments.

Upon arriving at Lake Magadi, admire the lake’s otherworldly beauty. This shallow, alkaline lake is famous for its unique colors, ranging from pinkish hues to stark white crusts of salt. It’s also home to large flocks of flamingos and other waterbirds, making it a great spot for birdwatching and photography. As you walk along the shores, your guide will share fascinating information about the lake’s formation, the local ecosystem, and its significance to the Maasai communities that live in the area.

Lake Magadi and its surrounding areas are rich in wildlife. While you explore the lake and its environs, you may spot zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and warthogs that roam freely across the arid plains. The stark beauty of the landscape, with its rugged hills and sparse vegetation, creates the perfect backdrop for wildlife observation.

One of the highlights of Lake Magadi is its natural hot springs, located at the southern tip of the lake. These geothermal springs bubble up from the earth, and visitors can dip their feet into the warm water for a relaxing soak.

Camp beside the river Ewasonyiro and then later, go for the game drive. Take a hiking experience on day two where you will chase a waterfall and while at it, explore the Nguruman hills.
