Timeline
05:50
Arrive at the Nguuni Nature Sanctuary entrance. Pay the Ksh 500 fee and find a quiet spot on the wetlands or near the small lakes to wait for the light.
06:20
Watch the sunrise. The sun rises in the east, so position yourself with the sanctuary’s animal enclosures and bird habitats in your field of view as the golden light hits the landscape.
07:05
Head to Cheers for a drink. It is an open air bar just a minute’s walk from the viewing area, open 24/7, so it is ready for you immediately after your visit.
Local tip
The sanctuary is best experienced on foot. Wear comfortable shoes for the walk around the wetlands and lakes where birds gather.
