High water levels have caused the flamingos to leave. This is not worth visiting at present.
High lake levels for the past 2 years have caused the flamingos to leave. Waterbuck, zebra, baboon, and other common wildlife remain, but don't go expecting to see the flamingo flock.

Unless being an absolute Rhino-fan, avoid Lake Nakuru
In my opinion Lake Nakuru is the most over-rated safari-park in Kenya. There are better options, which are cheaper, offer more wildlife, and much nicer safari experience then Lake Nakuru. Through, these options are not as easy to get to as Nakuru, however, they are well worth the effort.
Because at least in the other parks, you will see less tourists, you will see motivated park rangers taking their job serious, you will NOT see plastic bags hanging from the acacia trees when trying to spot a leopard, you will not be bothered by the sound of the disco at night, and you will see much more animals in a much better scenery.

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

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.

The park is experiencing the effects of global warming with a lack of flamingos.

Not a lot to see here. Very expensive boat trip, $50 each which only lasted an hour and didn't see many animals! A better lake was Naivasha which had a great variety of birds on the lake and animals in the park. The best place to see black and white Rhinos and an abundance of flamingos. Weren't taken to the actual park.

If you have done the Masai Mara reserve and see wildlife sighting to heart content then Lake Nakuru may not be as exciting. For us the plus point was we missed sighting Rhinos in MM and lake Nakuru gave us the oppurtunity to easily sight the Albino Rhinos
