The rhinos make it worth. Otherwise, there's not much else to offer. Do not expect to see all those flamingos usually seen on travel magazines... They are much easier spotted (and in bigger number) in other lakes.

It was nice, but slightly lower rate in comparison with Masai Mara National Reserve, in terms of number of animals and size of the area.

Despite the beautiful place we had many raining days and it was no possible to arrive close to the lake.
But the other places was very nice and we saw amazing animals like Rino and red giraffe and elephants!!!

A small park that is well worth the visit.
Lake Nakuru National Park is well worth the visit. While the flocks of flamingos are apparently not what they once were, there were plenty around and seeing that many birds was mesmerizing. We also saw big herds of Rothschild's giraffes (a very beautiful subspecies) as well as an abundance of zebras, buffalo, waterbucks, and gazelles. A few lions, jackals, and hyenas also made appearances. We only saw two hippos. According to our guides that was lucky so this site may be a bit mistaken to say hippos are common in the area. While I am not a hardcore birder, there is plenty for birders to enjoy. We saw guinea fowl, African fish eagles, marbou storks, Egyptian geese, a hooded vulture, lilac-breasted rollers, and plenty of others. If you go stay at the Lake Nakuru Lodge. Baboons roam the grounds, there is a waterhole near the restaurant that attracted warthogs and zebras, and there is a great view of the lake. Bring your binoculars!

You can watch Rhinos easily, but there are very few flamingos that made this lake famous.
It takes 3 hours drive from Nairobi with paved road.
If you want to do another place in this country other than Masai Mara, this is the best.

Saw a rhino and flamingos! Definitely the highlight for Lake Nakuru.

Beautiful, especially for birds around the lake. But the lake appears to be drying up.

Nakuru is a little too near "civilization"--we preferred the Mara.
