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

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.

No flamingoes, but did see a black rhino and hippos and lions. Did not see Rothschild's giraffes as road was closed due to bad weather

Hippos are in the lake. The lake provides a beautiful view. There are many different birds on the lake as well.

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.
