The ride starts at Lake Elmenteita, on Soysambu Conservancy. A spectacular setting, framed by walls of several extinct volcanoes. The Conservancy is home to a large population of plains game, these include, giraffe, zebra, gazelles, buffalo as well as an array of birdlife. The ride then continues on to Lake Baringo, a freshwater lake in the Rift Valley and home to a sizeable hippo and crocodile population. The third lake we visit is Lake Bogoria, an alkaline lake and at certain times of the year, a feeding ground for thousands of flamingos. This tour is tailored to suit the riding experience of the participants.
