Clumps of acacia grow along the Athi River and Giraffe may sometimes be seen in the distance feeding on the upper branches. The road is now the busy Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

Amboseli National Park is arrived at in time for lunch. An afternoon game drive will introduce you to the beauty of this park which lies in the shadow of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilima Njaro (19,340 ft). Return to your lodge at sunset to watch a spectacular African sunset.

Lake Naivasha has a surface of about 44 square miles. In 1929 it was found to have a depth of 34 feet. Crescent Island is part of the rim of submerged volcano whose crater forms the deepest part of the lake. In the driest years, the level of the lake dropped so that the whole rim of Crescent Island was exposed. In the distant past Lake Naivasha stood about 420 feet higher than it does now. Its outlet was at that time through the Njorowa Gorge (Hells Gate). Lake Naivasha is a bird watchers paradise.
