Again a very beautiful scenic location. We saw mainly Flamingo, Pelican, and Rhino. Unfortunately we had problems with the vehicle in this park, so did not get to see as much of it as we should have. I believe others saw many more species here.

Lake Nakuru was spectacular for wildlife, the sight of pink flamingos was fabulous. This was where we saw a rhino and her baby

It has become like a zoo trip, doesn't worth the trip

One of Kenya's best parks. Lots of birds, eagles. Lots of close up encounters with wildlife including white rhino

The scenery is good, but civilisation is encroaching.

The entrance fees to Lake Nukuru were outrageously high, given the quality of the experience. It is a lovely lake, but do not go with the expectation of a remote wilderness experience.

Lake Nakuru was my first safari; it left me stunned by its beauty and abundance of wildlife. I toured the park with a friend in our own vehicle. It was safe, easy and breathtaking.

The Kruger of Kenya. Very expensive, almost like a theme park with the amount of people and the swanky facilities. But the wildlife is great - really easy to see most animals and the birds are great because of the lake. Lots of flamingos. All the big animals here - hyena, rhino etc. Brilliant park, especially if you are on a first time safari. Easy to reach from Nairobi aswell.
