Our Guided Nature Walk offers a unique opportunity to discover Nakuru's remarkable bush life beyond the confines of a safari vehicle. Starting from our car park area, the trail meanders along the Lodge's perimeter fence and opens up to the plains of the adjacent farmyard, which is gradually transforming into an indigenous forest. Here, you'll encounter a rich array of flora and fauna, from vibrant bird species in two distinct Lodge zones to the captivating diversity of plant life. The trail culminates at the Sopa Observation Hill Deck, providing a breath-taking panoramic view of the Lodge's surroundings and Lake Nakuru National Park. Our comprehensive experience includes a professional guide and a dedicated security guard for your safety and enjoyment.
