The quick flight from the dry plains of Lewa into the lush green Great Rift Valley was a little bumpy. Visibility was not great as we glided through a couple of rain showers but as we descended Lake Nakuru opened up below us shimmering in the golden evening light. A beautiful sight and a stark contrast to Lewa with its pink flamingo lined shores and yellow barked fever tree forests hugging the escarpment. The car was waiting for us and we headed out on our first game drive towards our private luxury mobile camp.
