Lake Nakuru felt like being in Jurassic Park - hugely diverse landscape, and we would've enjoyed our time on Safari even without seeing any animals. The scenery around the salt water lake is breathtaking, the forests around it are incredible and the sometimes hilly terrain means bumpy but fun rides in the Landcruiser! The Park bursts an amazingly diverse fauna within quite close proximity. The terrain ensures animals have plenty of space to roam off the paths where vehicles drive, which makes for a more "natural" experience.

Lake Nakuru was the place where we ticked off the big five even before going to Masai Mara. The beauty of this park lies in its terrain and is simply breathtaking. Lion hill a must visit and that is where we were lucky enough to spot 4 lions!

Spectacular short safari in Kenya
Lake Nakuru National Park is a stunning destination, and the park I've enjoyed most in Africa. It is compact but brimming with wildlife, especially zebras, rhinos, giraffes, waterbucks, baboons, and many species of birds. It is located in the Rift Valley, on the coast of a large soda lake surrounded by hills. The park is only about a 2.5 hours drive from Nairobi, which makes it possible to visit it as a day trip from the capital. The drive over is spectacular. Soon after leaving the city one soon arrives at the escarpments leading down to the Rift Valley. We had lunch at a lodge in the park, which was fantastic. Highly recommended!

Main highlight :Spotting flamingos and White rhino. We could see a lot of giraffes ( around 20 of them ) moving in a group.
The nature/ scenic beauty was that of a forest, completely different from Masai Mara

This place is like a fairy tale. Super beautiful and full of animals in the middle of the path where you drive.

Not a lot to see here. Very expensive boat trip, $50 each which only lasted an hour and didn't see many animals! A better lake was Naivasha which had a great variety of birds on the lake and animals in the park. The best place to see black and white Rhinos and an abundance of flamingos. Weren't taken to the actual park.
