This is the best place to visit to see Flamingos in the Lake and known for white rhinos and tree climbing Lions.

Lake Nakuru National Park is one of my favourite parks in Kenya. It offers so much variation on so little space.
One of the remarkable things with this park is the flamingos. The shore of the lake is often completly pink with tens of thounsands flamingos. When you get up in the highlands and look down on the shore, you see how numerous they are. Incredible!

I also like the variations in the landscapes of the park. From deep forest to the big lake, and also savannah.

Perfect park. HIGHLY reccomended

Lake Nakuru is an excellent combination of 'normal' wildlife, special birdlife and the rhino's. Scenery up was beautifull, you could see how pelicans are fishing together in a circle. Accomodation in both lodges was OK. Our guide was kind and knew a lot.

Not much wild life but was surprised to see a Lion with a kill and the a lone White Rhino being guarded by two rangers. As we were leaving the park what a surprised to be chased by a Rhino - that was the biggest highlight for me. Sad we could not see the famous Flamingo's as our timing was not the best.

Semi- arid but we sighted a leopard and three rhinos apart from flamingos (not many), zebras and other animals.

We went out on the lake. It was beautiful, with many birds and nice to be on the water. It was more civilized where we were where even a local wedding was going on while we were there. It was a perfect contrast to the Masai Mara safari.

We visited Lake Nakuru to see some Rhino's, and boy! were we surprised, within 1/2 hour inside the park, we saw 7 Black Rhino's and 2 very large White Rhino's. it was a blast! 10 of us went from Edmonton Canada in 2 jeeps provided by Odyssey Safari's in NY. The best part was a young wounded Black Rhino charging our Jeep! OMG!! Stuff that movies are made of. You can view the video, go to youtube and type in 12511131 in the search bar and make sure you turn the volume up. Absolutely awesome. And the Flamingo's!! OMG! Sea of red and pink.

Lake Nakuru National Park is set in the heart of the Rift Valley. The park is relatively small at approximately 250 square kilometres, but it should never be overlooked! Its accessibility and close proximity to Nairobi makes it an easy day trip from the capital or ideal for a couple of nights on safari.
