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.

Lake Nakuru is more jungle then anything else. You can see rhinos, but less lions etc.

I'm not a fan of fenced in parks, they just feel like really nice zoos to me, but this one is very beautiful and does have lots of animals. I read online about the lack of flamingos, but I saw many of them on my visit, not the thousands you see in the icon photos, but enough to feel like the park had lots of them, so I wasn't disappointed. I'm not planning on going back anytime soon, the fence and town around the park killed this one for me, but if you can get past that, the park is stunningly beautiful and the wildlife viewing is top notch!
