After breakfast, drive to Thomson Falls and feel the cooling mist from its 236-foot cascade that feeds the dense forest below. Then proceed to Lake Elementaita and Soysambu Conservancy arriving in time for lunch. Proceed for an afternoon game drive and lake shore walk. During your easy walk along the shores of Lake Elementaita you will see the only breeding ground for the great white pelican, flamingos, and a wide variety of other birds and mammals. Walk to the “Out of Africa” plains or nearby hill with panoramic views of the conservancy. Upon arrival as the sun begins to set, gather around the campfire for sundowners – taking in the natural beauty around you until dark. The sundowner is an essential part of safari life and dates back to the time of the great safaris of the 1920’s. Timed to start as the sun begins its descent, the sundowner experience begins with a gentle evening game drive, arriving at the sundowner site just as the evening sky turns gold-pink. As night falls, you will be driven back to your Luxury camp/lodge. Dinner and overnight-stay at Lake Elementaita Serena Luxury tented camp | Similar. Meal Plan: BLD
