Rift Valley Province, Kenya The Great Rift Valley is a series of contiguous geographic trenches, approximately 6,000 kilometres (3,700 mi) in total length, that runs from the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in Asia to Mozambique in southeastern Africa.[1] While the name continues in some usages, it is rarely used in geology as it is considered an imprecise merging of separate though related rift and fault systems.

I greatly appreciated this first experience in Kenya with this tour of Nakuru National Park. Danson has been a nice and friendly guide in the park and knows everything about the wildlife.

This was a great tour overall Anthony was a great guide and made sure that we saw Lions in Nakuru national park. We also got to see a baby rhino with its parents, and lots of other animals. I was particularly excited to see the flamingoes in the lake. The vehicle was comfortable and in good repair. It was nice to see the animals through the pop up roof.
The restaurant we were brought to for lunch was in Naivasha (so there was no afternoon game drive in Nakuru). The restaurant was just okay. I lived in Kenya for several years and this food would not be up to par for Kenyans. The Ugali was very hard, and considering this meal would cost no more than USD 5 in a typical Kenyan Restaurant (and that is on the higher end), it costed over USD 15 which is just overpriced for what it was. The restaurant was full of tour guides taking tourists there for lunch, so there is clearly and agreement. The restaurant is taking advantage of the fact that tourists often do not know what Kenyan food is meant to taste like. I would recommend the tour company chooses somewhere else to bring their clients to.
Unfortunately, the day that we went, there was not a good view of the great rift valley, but that is not the tour guide's fault. Also keep in mind that the itinerary posted is impossible to do. We got a morning pick up from our accommodation and a morning game drive in Nakuru, lunch in Naivasha with a boat ride to see hippos. Then were going to head back to Nairobi but on the way I asked about the great rift valley view point because it was on the schedule. we never got to see the Makalia Waterfalls as was mentioned on the itinerary and would not have seen the Great Rift Valley viewpoint if I had not specifically asked. This part was disappointing. I think they need to revise the "what to expect" section on the viator website to account for the reality of the traffic and travel time.
Overall this was a good experience and I would recommend it to friends who want to see the great rift valley province on a day trip from Nairobi.

Watching a baby baboon riding on it's mother back then switching to nursing on her while she walks around and eat. It was my first time seeing pumbas. Watching the run around with their tails upwards looks funny ????
