LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK

Flamingo lake

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru is located in central Kenya and is protected by the Lake Nakuru National Park. The lake’s thriving algae attracts a very large amount of flamingoes!

On the bank, waterbucks, Bohor-Reedbuck and zebras wander around grazing. Lake Nakuru is home to the black and white rhinoceros. In 1987 only two black rhinoceroses had remained because of devastating effects of poaching. By establishing a rhinoceros protected area within the park and crossing with a breeder from Laikipia, the Kenya Wildlife Service (K.W.S.) succeeded in multiplying rhinoceros successfully in the park. Wild observation is relatively easy and will be possible until sunset. Buffalo, Leopard, Lion, Rothschild giraffe, Colobus and Baboons can be found in the forest.

Best time to visit Lake Nakuru

The best months to visit are June to September and January to March. However, the rainy seasons are generally not as wet as other areas and the roads are good year-round.

Wildlife

In addition to its 400 species of birds, Lake Nakuru National Park is home to 50+ mammal species, and over 500 species of flora. Animals include giraffe, buffalo, zebra, white rhino, black rhino, lion, leopard, hyena, waterbuck and gazelle.
