Sometimes the best escape is the simplest one. No fixed schedule. No crowded coach. Just your own car, an open road, and Kenya’s stunning Great Lakes region waiting at the end of it. The Great Lakes Escape gives you exactly that freedom across a 2-day, 1-night self-drive package. Explore Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Elementaita entirely at your own pace. For a detailed breakdown of all available hotels, resorts, and their corresponding costs, refer to the attached rate sheet.
Why Self-Drive Trips Are Gaining Popularity in Kenya
More travellers now prefer the flexibility that comes with driving themselves. Self-drive trips remove fixed departure times and rigid group schedules. You decide when to stop for photos, when to linger at a viewpoint, and when to push on toward your destination. This freedom suits couples, friend groups, and families who want control over their own itinerary.
Three Lakes, One Unforgettable Weekend
This region packs remarkable diversity into a small geographic area. Each lake brings its own character to the trip.
Lake Naivasha
Boat rides and hippo sightings make Naivasha a favourite stop for many travellers. The surrounding landscape offers excellent photo opportunities throughout the day.
Lake Nakuru
This lake sits within a national park known for its rhino population and striking pink flamingo flocks along the shoreline. Wildlife enthusiasts often extend their visit here.
Lake Elementaita
A quieter, less crowded alternative to its neighbouring lakes. Elementaita offers a peaceful setting away from the busier tourist routes nearby.

Tips for a Smooth Self-Drive Trip
Fill your tank before leaving Nairobi to avoid searching for fuel along unfamiliar roads. Download offline maps in case of patchy network coverage near the lakes. Leave early in the morning to make the most of your single full day in the region. Carry some cash for small expenses, as not every stop along the route accepts card payments.
