Lake Nakuru National Park is unique for its spectacular birdlife, most famously the thousands of flamingos that line the shores of its alkaline lake, creating a breathtaking pink halo. It is also a designated rhino sanctuary, offering one of the best chances to see both black and white rhinos in their natural habitat. The park is home to the rare Rothschild’s giraffe, which thrives in the acacia woodlands and is distinguishable by its light markings and lack of spots below the knees. With over 400 bird species, including pelicans, fish eagles, and herons, it’s a paradise for birdwatchers. Despite its relatively small size, the park features diverse landscapes—from grasslands and marshes to rocky cliffs and waterfalls—making wildlife viewing easy and rewarding. Scenic viewpoints like Baboon Cliff provide panoramic views of the lake and its surroundings. Just a few hours from Nairobi, its rich biodiversity and accessibility make it an ideal destination for a day trip safari.

Overall great experience! The lake is in the middle of the reserve, during the tour we took a road which goes through the lake where you can see thousands of birds fishing and interacting with each other. We were able to see tons of zebras, warthogs, giraffes, baboons and buffalo. The also managed to see both black and white rhinos! Our guide Eric was hospitable, knowledgeable and happy to accommodate our wishes. We stayed in the park during the whole trip instead of taking the boat tour on lake Naivasha, which we had already done on a different safari. We recommend this trip, especially if you want to see rhinos.

I really enjoyed this day trip to Lake Nakuru. Morning check-out at 5am from the hotel with a stop on the way for breakfast. Arriving at the lake national park, a beautiful landscape, full of pelicans, birds, buffaloes, monkeys, we saw a lioness too. It was with a large classic car, no sunroof and the window could only open half, which restricts vision. For lunch my guide took me to the restaurant of a lodge in the national park, with a splendid view and a small good buffet. We then went to Lake Naivasha, a very nice place, and I took an hour boat ride on the lake to see hippos and birds. I had to pay $50 for this 1 hour boat tour and it seemed very expensive, I had read that the price was more of 25 to 30 dollars maximum. I recommend this one-day tour.

Er had a lovely time at our safari with Erick and Josef! A relaxing trip where we saw zebras, hippos, monkeys, a lion and rhino. We ended our day with a delicious lunch at the lodge in the park. Will highly recommend this tour!
