Great photo safari at Lake Nakuru National Park
As this was our first stop on our trip to Kenya we did not know what to expect. The accommodations at Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge were comfortable and food delicious. We were greeted after each game drive with warm, wet facecloths as we arrived at the lodge. As the nights were cool we found hot water bottles in the bed to warm it up. A surprise the first night but nice to crawl into a warmed bed on a cool evening. The guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. We did two game drives a day (sun rise and later afternoon) and there was always something new to see. Seeing white and black rhinos was amazing along with lions, baboons, hippos, and many other animals. The weather was just right with 20-23 C in the day and evenings around 10-12 C. My kind of temperatures. As it was a photo safari our guides knew where to go for the best shots. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and definitely would recommend it to others.

At Nakuru we spotted the Back Rhino right next to the camp as we were going out for game drive. It waited, gave us photo pose, crossed the road before vanishing in to the bushes. There were lions sleeping on the hill slope close to the road, and giving us perfect pose to capture on our cameras. Adding to the adventure our driver and cook helped another vehicle to replace a Tyre of another car which had a puncture right in front of the sleeping lions. The lions woke up after replacement was done as the people were boarding the vehicles and got a shock seeing them out of the vehicles.
White Rhinos were sighted very closely like as if we could talk to them as they crossed the road. Our driver was always keeping us at a safe distance and would move away from them seeing their reactions.

There were more animals and water birds to be seen at Lake Nakuru. There were more greenery. Tall trees and more birds here. The scenic beauty of the lake above average.

One item checked off my bucket list but I want to do more safari!
The serene lake is the grazing ground for many herbivores, from white rhinos to zebras. I saw so much wildlife in two drives--before sunset and after sunrise, where were the best times to spot animals. The weather was gorgeous in Feb, although very cold in the morning so gear up and wear a down feather jacket and a scarf. The tour operator we booked with put us at a guesthouse inside the park. It's a no frill place but secure with fences around the property. The tour company also dispatched a chef to cook for us. The food was okay but we were not too demanding nor picky anyway. The mini van from the tour company was outdated and very bumpy on dirt roads and unpaved paths. I wish it was a Jeep with better suspension system. Our guide was knowledgeable and great at spotting animals for us to see.

Lake Nakuru is teeming with wildlife. Recent rises in water levels have reduced the number of flamingoes in the lake. The views from Baboon Cliff are still as spectacular as before.
flamingoes, rhinoes, lions scenery need i say more
