Create an itinerary including Lake Nakuru

A national park flourishing with life, Lake Nakuru provides a haven for birds and bird-lovers from across the globe. Discover the diverse beauty scattered around on the Rift Valley's great soda lake, with waterfalls, caves, and forest all providing pockets of varying wildlife, including tree-climbing lions, Rothschild giraffes, and endangered black rhinos. Despite rising water levels leading to a depleting flamingo population, the park still provides ample bird-watching, thanks to its position on the African-Eurasian migratory flyway. Pack a picnic and enter through one of the park's three gates, touring each of the safari viewpoints for some spectacular photographs. You can plan Lake Nakuru National Park trip in no time by asking Klarna Trips to help create your itinerary.

Excellent for family get-aways. Wide variety of animals as well as picturesque and very beautiful landscape. We specially enjoyed a live lion hunt. Good roads that accommodate all types of cars. I recommend self drives. #Magical

Fun experience for the family. You do need a camera with a zoom lens to appreciate them better. Easy to see pelicans, fish eagles, flamingos, zebra, water buffalo, rhinos and baboons

I actually enjoyed this one. I think a maximum of 3 hours should be spent in parks.. anything more than that is overkill. Plus the animals probably need a break. Make sure to carry a lot of drinking water. Payments by car or M-PESA only. Kenyan citizens - 800 per person

The Nakuru National Park is a Must Visit for both Locals and Foreigners. This is a Rhino 🦏 Sanctuary with both Back & White Rhino Population. Plenty of Giraffes, Antelopes and Buffalo 🦬🦬 that make the game a spectacle. The variety of Bird Life is incredible with the famous Pink Flamingo 🦩🦩🦩 around the shore line. The hotels in the park offer a splendid experience for an overnight stay from Sarova Lionhill, The Cliff, Lake Nakuru Lodge and not forgetting Sopa Lodge. Always a great place to come back again.

Its is an amazing place where you can see animals and birds. It has lots of beautiful scenery. I would suggest you go between 8 am and 10 am because you will see most of the animals.
