Naukuru is the the best place to watch rhinos. The park is not large but apart from the lake magnificant birdlife (much more than the flamingoes) on and around the lake there are lots of rhinos ( about 120 I blelieve) which are well profected by the KWS. There are also some Rothschild Giraffes which have been hunted close to extinction in the original habitats.
The backdraw of Naukuru is the massive touris, especially on weekends.

An exotic park with more than just flamingos. Both Black and White Rhino are found here. There are huge herds of waterbuck, zebra, buffalo, the endangered Rothschild Giraffe and more.

An easy to reach park to see big game. Doesn't have the bush vibe of Masai Mara but a great place to check your Big Five boxes.

Black & White Rhino, lions if you're lucky, leopard definately, - Lesser & Greater Pink Flamingo and myriads of other birds ranging from Pelicans to Weaver Birds. Good choice of lodge accomodation. As the main route circumvents the lake, you can't really get lost.

Beautiful lake with a spectacular flamingo scenery and many other animals (no elephants), but often very crowded!
