- Rift Valley Province - The Great Rift Valley is a series of connected geographic trenches, approximately 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miles) in total length, stretching from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in southeastern Africa. Although the name is still used in some contexts, it is seldom used in geology as it is considered an imprecise combination of separate but related rift and fault systems.
- Lake Naivasha - An optional boat ride is available here for hippo viewing and bird watching.

Incredible - Oh it was already my second safari with the company and i it exceeded my expectations again. Our guide Kevin made sure we really saw everything, from Zebras, Buffalos, Giraffes and Monkeys to the very rare to see white rhinos and leopards! We actually had an overnight stay in Naivasha aswell and it was a pleasure. The staff was extremely great and they offer great massages ;)
Everything worked out fine, we were picked up at our house and brought back safely. My two friends and me were very lucky and had Kevin and the Van just for ourselves! I can really recommend this company, they won’t hide any fees and both the guide and the tour operator are there for you 24/7 to make it a perfect experience!
Lake Nakuru was recommended to me by other travelers and it did not disappoint. The lake, especially at sunset is so beautiful and is filled with all kinds of birds such as flamingos and pelicans which you can see very closely. But the National Park offered so much more!

An exciting day tour at Lake Nakuru National Park - Bovid Africa Safaris ensured we had an exceptional experience. the game drive at the park and taking photos at the Rift Valley view point was very exciting.
i enjoyed the exceptional services of the Bovid Safaris vehicle, the passion of our tour guide and his excellence and passion to educate us on the animals in the park.

Could be better - Relatively stressful. We closed a private tour with people leaving from two different cities. One of the transfers was late, we lost an hour or two at the end of the day and had to make the last run. Not to mention that lunch was four in the afternoon.
On the second day the driver did not organize for us to enter the park, we arrived there 6:30 to see the sun rise and they did not accept payment in cash. The result: we did not enter the park, we have to wait 8 hours to be able to enter.
Africa as a whole has a calmer culture with the organization, so don’t expect everything to go 100% as expected all the time. Anyway, 1 star because the problems were lack of organization of the driver in the two days.
