Lake Elementaita & Soysambu Ride
A cycling safari inside Soysambu Conservancy — flamingos on Lake Elementaita, plains game either side of the track, conservancy entry and lunch included.
Soysambu is a working conservancy on the shore of Lake Elementaita, and it is one of the few places you can ride a bike among zebra, giraffe and eland without a vehicle between you and them. The lake itself holds flamingos in numbers that are hard to describe until you have seen them lift.
The guided cycling safari runs through the morning, with lunch afterwards and an optional extended ride or wildlife viewing in the early afternoon.
Good to know
The cycling safari inside the conservancy is optional — you can ride the perimeter tracks instead if you would rather. Conservancy entry is included either way.
