关于这趟行程

A Lake Nakuru safari is the most reliable rhino viewing in Kenya. Three hours from Nairobi on tarmac the whole way, one night in a fenced park of 188 square kilometres, and a fair chance of seeing both black and white rhino in a single afternoon.

Why take a Lake Nakuru safari

A Lake Nakuru safari exists because of one decision: the park was fenced in the 1980s to protect rhino, and it worked. Today it holds one of the densest rhino populations in East Africa, along with the Rothschild's giraffe translocated here in 1977 to save the subspecies.

A troop of baboons moves through the lush green grass, with the young ones climbing and playing around the adults.
  • White rhino, usually grazing in the open near the lake shore.
  • Black rhino, browsing in the thicker bush, harder to find and worth the looking.
  • Rothschild's giraffe, the tallest of the three Kenyan giraffe, with clean white socks.
  • Lion and leopard, both resident; the leopard here are seen more often than in most parks.
  • Flamingo, whose numbers rise and fall with the water level. They are a bonus, never a promise.

How the two days run

Day one. Nairobi to Nakuru in about three hours, arriving for lunch. An afternoon game drive along the lake shore and up to Baboon Cliff for the view over the whole basin.

Day two. An early drive while the rhino are still out in the open, breakfast at the lodge, and back to Nairobi by mid-afternoon. Menengai Crater or Lake Elementaita can be added on the way home.

A giraffe leans toward a visitor, gently taking food from her hand as she enjoys a close wildlife encounter.

Where you stay

Full board inside the park, Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge or similar, on the escarpment with a view over the lake. Staying inside the gate means you are on a game drive within minutes of waking, which is the whole advantage.

When to go

All year. January and February are dry and clear; July to September is cool and good for game. The park is small and the roads are good, so the rains are less disruptive here than in the Mara. See our best time to visit Kenya guide for the full picture. Current park fees are published by the Kenya Wildlife Service.

What it costs

From $460 per person sharing, or KES 42,000 for Kenyan residents and citizens, park fees included. Every price on this page includes park entry fees, transport in a pop-top 4x4 with a guaranteed window seat, and a professional driver-guide who stays with you for the whole trip. Our guides are the same people year after year, which is why they know where the cats were yesterday.

Lake Nakuru pairs naturally with the Mara: rhino here, cats and the migration there. Our five-day circuit does exactly that with Ol Pejeta and Naivasha.

Frequently asked questions

Will I definitely see rhino at Lake Nakuru?

Nothing in the wild is certain, but this is the most reliable rhino park in Kenya: the population is dense, the park is fenced and the ground is open. Most guests see several in a single drive.

Are there still flamingos at Lake Nakuru?

Sometimes, in numbers that depend on the water level and the algae. Treat them as a bonus rather than the reason for the trip.

How long is the drive from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru?

About three hours, on tarmac the whole way through the Rift Valley.

Can I do Lake Nakuru as a day trip?

You can, but it makes for a long day with only a short drive in the park. One night inside the gate gives you the early morning, which is when the rhino are easiest to find.
