You will have a game drive and your packed lunch in one of the picnic sites. Drive leisurely to L. Bogoria. You will drive first to the lake and take a walk along its shores. L. Bogoria is known for its hot springs and geysers on the southern shores of the lake. The sulphur waters are known to have therapeutic values hence are natural spas and steam bath/sauna. The hot water is known to boil eggs. This is also the home of the greater kudu and a host of other savannah wildlife. Dinner and overnight at the L. Bogoria Lodge
