His beautiful Rift Valley lake offers voluminous birdlife and sometimes even pink flamingoes. But the protected sanctuary here will also bring you opportunities to see one of Kenya’s largest population of endangered black rhinos.

Although a small lake, rhinos and flamingos were spectacular

The scenery is magnificent, we were able to see white rhinos from small distance, lions, and all the other animals were literally within a hand reach. Birds are endless, spectacular. The area close to this national park is very clean and tidy, especially Naivasha town. It seems people there have more work and income, nobody was pushing us to buy rubbish, very nice place.

Lake Nakuru National Park was beautiful. It was amazing how different the landscape here is than other national parks. We did see the flamingos but could not get very close to them. That would have been the only thing that would have made our visit better.

Lake Nakuru was the place where we ticked off the big five even before going to Masai Mara. The beauty of this park lies in its terrain and is simply breathtaking. Lion hill a must visit and that is where we were lucky enough to spot 4 lions!

Spectacular short safari in Kenya

Lake Nakuru National Park is a stunning destination, and the park I've enjoyed most in Africa. It is compact but brimming with wildlife, especially zebras, rhinos, giraffes, waterbucks, baboons, and many species of birds. It is located in the Rift Valley, on the coast of a large soda lake surrounded by hills. The park is only about a 2.5 hours drive from Nairobi, which makes it possible to visit it as a day trip from the capital. The drive over is spectacular. Soon after leaving the city one soon arrives at the escarpments leading down to the Rift Valley. We had lunch at a lodge in the park, which was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Main highlight :Spotting flamingos and White rhino. We could see a lot of giraffes ( around 20 of them ) moving in a group.
The nature/ scenic beauty was that of a forest, completely different from Masai Mara

This place is like a fairy tale. Super beautiful and full of animals in the middle of the path where you drive.
