About This Destination

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is one of Africa's great ornithological wonders, built around a shallow alkaline soda lake that can host over a million flamingos — one of nature's most extraordinary natural concentrations. Beyond the flamingos, Nakuru is a fenced sanctuary protecting both white and black rhino, making it one of Kenya's most reliable parks for rhino sightings. Rothschild giraffe, waterbuck, lion, and leopard are also resident, while Baboon Cliff and Makalia Waterfall offer dramatic landscapes that reward exploration beyond the lakeshore. Just two hours from Nairobi, it is the perfect park for a short getaway.
