How To Get to Lake Bogoria National Reserve – By Road and Air

Lake Bogoria Safaris Lake Bogoria National Reserve
Map of Kenya Kenya Map

Most visitors to Kenya come through Nairobi, which is one of the largest transport hubs on the continent. International flights arrive in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), 15km/9mi southeast of Nairobi.

Lake Bogoria National Reserve is 250km/155mi from Nairobi and the drive takes at least 5 hours*. Bogoria is mostly visited as a side trip from Nakuru (about 3 hours*). You can either join a safari in Nairobi or rent a car and visit Lake Bogoria independently.

The southern entrance to the reserve is 38km/24mi north of Nakuru, although the track in from the southern gate can be problematic at best and impassable after rains at worst. A 4WD is essential if you’re coming in this way. The sealed road from Nakuru to the northern entrance (which provides much easier vehicle access, even in a 2WD) is 150km/93mi.

There are no domestic flights to Lake Bogoria or Lake Nakuru. Charter flights between reserves may be possible and are typically organized by your tour operator.

*Driving times are only a rough indication. You should always consider the possibility of significant delays.
