Saw flamingos and rhinos here, which I didn't see at Masai Mara

Lake Nakuru was a very enjoyable safari experience. The landscapes around the lake are beautiful and the park offers a good variety of wildlife in a relatively compact area. It was a great place to enjoy nature, take photos and experience a different atmosphere from the Masai Mara. Definitely worth visiting as part of a Kenya safar

Lake Nakuru was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed it more than expected. That said, don’t go there expecting to see huge numbers of flamingos—the numbers can be quite limited.

Lake Nakuru has an incredible landscape. We also liked that there were a lot less tourists.

Lake Nakuru National Park was beautiful. It was amazing how different the landscape here is than other national parks. We did see the flamingos but could not get very close to them. That would have been the only thing that would have made our visit better.

The scenery is magnificent, we were able to see white rhinos from small distance, lions, and all the other animals were literally within a hand reach. Birds are endless, spectacular. The area close to this national park is very clean and tidy, especially Naivasha town. It seems people there have more work and income, nobody was pushing us to buy rubbish, very nice place.

Although a small lake, rhinos and flamingos were spectacular
