Lake Nakuru National Park

Awesome experience in lake Nakuru. It's a place to visit once in a lifetime. Thanks to our driver skills and a Lucky day, we managed to see our missing Big, the rhino.

Should you visit Kenya for a Safari ,Nakuru is a must on your list! Absolutely stunning! Roads to get there will also be remembered, for better or for worse...

The millions of flamingoes are not more. There were only a handful of them. Apparently, the pink flamingo population started reducing from the 1960s when tilapia fish were introduced into the lake and also the level of the lake started rising. This ate away at the algae that the flamingoes feed of (core for the colour's too) and it chased them away. Beyond the flamingoes, there are rhinos and quite frankly, the biggest rhino population in any national park. On a good note, we got to see a lion hunt and eat a Waterbuck. Unfortunately, it's not as thrilling of a national park as others.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Safari Experience at Lake Nakuru! Our safari at Lake Nakuru National Park was absolutely amazing! From the moment we entered the park, we were surrounded by incredible wildlife and breathtaking scenery. We saw so many rhinos (both black and white), grazing peacefully near the southern end of the park. There were herds of buffaloes, elegant zebras, and even a group of Colobus monkeys with their distinctive black-and-white coats playing in the bamboo forests. One of the biggest highlights was spotting four lions, including a majestic male lion resting in the afternoon sun — such a rare and thrilling sight! The variety of wildlife here is truly impressive, and the birdlife adds even more magic to the experience. Our guide made sure we didn’t miss a thing and knew exactly where to find the animals. This park is a must-visit for anyone coming to Kenya. Seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat was unforgettable.

Lake Nakuru National Park is a radiant jewel in Kenya’s Rift Valley. From the surreal spectacle of thousands of flamingos painting the lake pink to the serene sightings of white and black rhinos grazing undisturbed, every moment feels like a poetic encounter with nature’s grandeur. The park’s compact size makes it perfect for a day trip, yet its diversity—pelicans, leopards, acacia forests, and dramatic escarpments—offers a full safari experience. A must-visit for bird lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone seeking soul-stirring beauty. D'jay 30-08-2025

What a beautiful park with incredible views over the lake with flamingoes and pelicans, also hundreds of other bird species. Rhinos Baboons, Giraffes and Zebras easy to spot. We also saw a lion.

Lake Nakuru National Park, once home to millions of flamingos, is like other lakes in Kenya, affected by rising water levels due to increased rainfall due to climate change. The lake's surface area has increased significantly due to the rising water levels, causing the flamingos to lose their traditional habitats. The influx of freshwater has changed the water quality, and the flamingos are barely able to find enough food. There are still many pelicans and other birds, but very few flamingos.

Must visit place to see lots of birds and other wild animals. One is not allowed to get out of safari vehicle except at waterfalls that has toilet facilities.
