Lake Nakuru National Park Experience

Although flamingo numbers have fluctuated due to rising water levels, Lake Nakuru National Park remains one of Kenya’s most scenic parks. Towering escarpments, acacia forests, waterfalls, and euphorbia trees frame the lake beautifully.

The park is a key sanctuary for endangered black rhinos and is featured in our Kenya rhino safaris.

Your safari continues to the legendary Masai Mara, home to one of Africa’s highest concentrations of wildlife. During game drives, you’ll search for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—alongside cheetahs, hyenas, hippos, and countless plains game.
