Things to do in Rift Valley Province, Kenya: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

November 11, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Rift Valley Province (Swahili: Mkoa wa Bonde la Ufa) of Kenya, bordering Uganda, was one of Kenya's eight provinces, before the Kenyan general election, 2013. Rift Valley Province was the largest and one of the most economically important provinces in Kenya. It was dominated by the Kenya Rift Valley which passes through it and gives the province its name. According to the 2009 Census, the former province covered an area of 182,505.1 square kilometres (45,098,000 acres; 70,465.6 sq mi) and would have had a population of 10,006,805, making it the largest and most populous province in the country. The bulk of the provincial population is a strip between former Nairobi and Nyanza Province. The capital was the town of Nakuru.

It was a though but fantastic tour to mount longonot. We walked about 3 hours to see the crater, some animals and the beautiful nature. After that we spent some relaxing time at the boat trip at lake naivasha, and see some hippo's, birds and zebra's. Driver Sammy and guide Peter were 2 excellent and professional persons who make you're day more better. They're also very helpful, respectful and friendly. I recomment this tour to everyone who loves the nature!

Having planned the safari trip to Kenya, we approached many agencies and I have to admit that from time to time we got little bit frustrated as the communication was not exactly smooth or the companies werent able to offer us what we wanted. Having special requirements as seeing more parcs in less time seemed to be unreal for them or they put an absurd price tag on it. And then, we came across LiReise tour company and all the struggles went away as Lilian, the manager, was so great and helpful. The communication was super easy, Lilian seemed to work 24/7 as she replied quicky and also late in the evenings/during weekends. Lilian also managed to offer us exactly what we wanted - 2 days safari to Tsavo East and West for a very favorable price. We paid everything online through PayPal in advance so it was also well-handled. And still the best part of this experience was yet to come. Nelson, the guide/driver, and Elly, the national coordinator, picked us up exactly on time in Mombasa and our best moments in Kenya started. They were great people to have around once you go on safari - super careful about your needs, very knowledgable and incredibly fun. Plus, the most important thing - Nelson did not hesitate to take the bumpier roads or more time to make sure that you see as many animals as possible. I am sure it was not my last time in Kenya and even more sure is that I would want to enjoy the services of LiReise tour again as I could not be more satisfied and I would recommend them to everybody because they were simply perfect. I dont have even one thing I would complain about. Many thanks again for everything, keep doing the great job!

With three extra days in Namibia, I decided to include a quick trip to Etosha. I struggled to find a company that was still operational, and met my needs. Then I chatted with Megan, representative with Across Africa. I quickly knew she was actually interested in helping. Her sincerity, honesty, humanity and dedication were recognized immediately, and I knew that I didn’t need to search further. She set up my trip with no hidden BS, made an effort to meet all my needs, and did all of it promptly, professionally, and graciously. My trip turned out perfectly down to the last detail. I credit Megan and my guide Steve for making my quick visit to Etosha unforgettable. Because of them I will use Across Africa in the future and suggest to others that they do the same!

Incredible experience! Saw 4/5 the big five on this epic journey. The drive from Nairobi was long, but the driver made it fun with playing local music. The camp we stayed at was great, food was good, tents were clean, and we had hot water/shower/sink/toilet. The safari was incredible, and our driver made sure we saw as much as we could. We watched the sunset in the park during the sunset drive and the sunrise the next morning during the sunrise drive. We also visited the Masai Mara village which was such an interesting experience. 100% recommend the safari and village tour with day2daysafaris. Also, if you're wondering about traveling during the pandemic, everything was safe and recommend traveling now as there are very few tourists.

This was my first visit to Nairobi and when I asked about the places I should visit, people definitely recommended the Giraffe Center, Karen Blixen’s house and of course the Elephant Orphanage. Erick picked me up at the hotel and took me to the Giraffe Center where I had such a great time feeding the giraffes and taking lots of pictures with these extraordinary animals. Then we went to Karen Blixen’s house where another great tour guide (Peter) took me around and graciously explained all about the place! Unfortunately I was not able to see the elephants since the orphanage was closed due to Covid. All in all, it was a great day in Nairobi.
