Lots Of Birdlife & Rhinos

4 / 5 4 /5
4 / 5 0 / 5 3 / 5 4 / 5

The wildlife seen within Nakuru NP complemented that seen in other Kenyan national parks. Didn't see any big cats or elephants, but plenty of zebra, giraffe, buffalo, baboons, warthogs, & a variety of antelopes. Highlights were the rhino sightings, adults and young.
Saw more birds (25+ species) here than elsewhere including plenty of flamingos, pelicans and other water birds (the lake level was very high such that several of the roads were underwater and impassable).
Definitely worth a visit.

Stayed inside the park at the gorgeous Sopa lodge overlooking the lake.
Spectacular scenery and hippos!

A more lush area, animals are harder to see at times but very beautiful.

Heavy rains made lake level to high to access flamingo sites but still plenty wildlife to see. Large Buffalo herds.

Beautiful park, lots of birds although fewer game. The Flamingo Hills camp we stayed in was luxurious and perfect for encountering rare birds on the verandah of your tent.

It is a pity that the Flamingos are not present anymore

Very beautiful park I liked more than Masai Mara, at sunrise the landscape is stunning! Wildlife here is not as rich as Masai Mara but still worth a one day visit

The driver did not seem to be very keen to show us the best or may be there is no "best" there. I am not sure which one is the reason for my disappointment for having chosen this one as part of my vacation package.
