Extremely beautiful and well protected. Only putting 4 stars as the rules about driving around are extremely strict, unlike some of the other parks, but it’s still extremely worth a visit. We had a lovely time!

We saw Rhino in this park. It is one of the best places to see them in Kenya!

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

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.

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

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
