Beautiful Park

While the Maasai Mara was a tough act to follow, Lake Nakuru had many high points. White rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffe, flocks of greater and lesser flamingos, scenic landscape, wide variety of birds, an enormous troop of baboons and a massive zebra crossing were highlights but no denying the show was stolen by a quality sighting of a leopard, the most elusive and difficult to find of the iconic safari animals. It is a small park but a great complement to the Mara.

Nakuru is one of the best places in the world to see endangered black and white rhinos.

Great to see more birds, and also the rhino.Not the same panoramic view as in Masai Mara, but still wonderful!

I loved the rhino with her baby, the Rothschild giraffes and I was very fortunate to see a leopard.

We did this NP with our own transport and that was great to do. You can stay with all the wildlife as long as you want. Here we also saw several rhinos and hundreds of flamingos. The park is not too big and can easily be visited in 1 day.

1. Quite few flamingos in Nakuru.
2. The road condition to get there from Masai Mara needs significant improvement, please have more road like the one China company built.

We were lucky to see a lot, it feels a bit strange in a national park seeing buildings close by
