Lake Nakuru National Park

Entrance fee for foreigners is 90 USD. It takes a whole day to drive around the lake and the forest. The flamingoes were not many when we visited, but there were other wild animals just next to the road. You can come with your own car. Try to bring a good camera. Warmly recommended!

This park is difficult to navigate for self drive. 90 USD for foreigners. They offer a map for 2000 KES - which we thought was expensive.. but you probably need it because many of the roads are flooded. We intended to drive around the lake but this is not possible anymore because of the floods. Road signs are therefore not accurate anymore. The landscape is beautiful and the animals seem somewhat used to cars passing. You come close to buffalos, zebras and many antilopes. We saw Rhinos right at the enterance gates. As we did a day trip and we couldn't navigate the roads we did not manage to reach all the way to the other side of the lake where all the lions etc are. Furthermore the lakeshore is very dirty due to pollution. All in all - we were of course amazed by the environment, but it wasnt worth the prime charge. Rangers at the gate should inform people of the roads and a map should be offered for free as long as road signs have not been maintained.

Take in the scenic view of Lake Nakuru that is teaming with bird life. Most notable birds include pelicans, Egyptian geese, and African fish eagles. The park is also home to 4 of the big 5 ( lions, rhinoceros, buffaloes and leopards)

Yesterday we went to Lake Nakuru Park with the family. The tour was really lovely, the tour guide told us lots of things and answered our questions in detail. The weather was absolutely fantastic, the landscape and animals were wonderful.

Superb! You need a guide and the best if you take a pop-up roof vehicle to see more. Not as popular as Masai Mara, but maybe this is its advantage also, as it is not so busy. There are no elephants, but still, worth to see. Recommended!

In comparison with Maasai Mara, this National Park looks more like a jungle. We loved how good the air was, vegetation was amazing and we managed to complete our Big 5 with the Rynos we saw here. We also spotted the pink flamingos which are a beautiful sight.

Wow! Lake Nakuru is pure magic—a sanctuary where nature reigns and respect for wildlife feels instinctive. From the moment you enter, you’re immersed in a world of breathtaking landscapes and incredible biodiversity. Rolling hills, shimmering lake waters, and acacia forests set the stage for an unforgettable adventure. The safari experience here is overwhelming in the best way: rhinos grazing peacefully, majestic lions resting under the sun, flocks of flamingos painting the lake pink, and countless other species sharing this paradise. Every turn brings a new surprise, a new heartbeat moment. It’s not just a visit—it’s a deep connection with nature that fills you with awe and gratitude. If you love wildlife and raw beauty, Lake Nakuru will leave you speechless. Bring your camera, but more importantly, bring your heart—you’ll need it to hold all the feelings this place gives you. A tip for everyone: go early in the morning for the best light and most active wildlife sightings.

Lake Nakuru national park is renowned for birds and Rhinos. We didn't found that much of birds (particularly flamingos) but seen quite a few Rhinos, African buffalo, baboons, pelican and other birds, Hyenas, puppet monkey etc. Zebra, gazelles are abundant. Recommended.
