Lake Nakuru national Park

Lake Nakuru Nationaal Park

  • A Kaleidoscope of Color & Conservation

    Lake Nakuru National Park is one of Kenya’s most iconic Rift Valley destinations. Originally famous for the millions of flamingos that turned its shores into a shimmering pink carpet, the park has evolved into a premier sanctuary for endangered species. Encircled by rocky escarpments and pockets of yellow-barked acacia forests, this “Premium Park” offers a compact yet incredibly dense wildlife experience just a few hours’ drive from Nairobi.

  • What to expect

    1. The Rhino Stronghold: Nakuru is one of the best places in East Africa to see both Black and White Rhinos in their natural habitat.

    2. Birding Spectacle: While flamingo levels vary with water depths, the lake remains a haven for over 450 bird species, including Great White Pelicans, African Fish Eagles, and Hamerkops.

    3. Rare Sightings: It is one of the few places in Kenya to see the endangered Rothschild’s Giraffe and is famously known for its “tree-climbing” lions and elusive leopards.

    4. The Landscape: From the shimmering alkaline lake to the largest Euphorbia (cactus-like tree) forest in Africa, the scenery is a photographer’s dream.

  • Season Overview

    The park is accessible and beautiful in all seasons, best for general wildlife viewing and clearer photography.

    1. Zoek naar de “Grote Vier”: Doe mee met onze deskundige gidsen op een 4×4-safari om leeuwen, luipaarden, buffels en neushoorns te volgen. (Opmerking: Er zijn geen olifanten in Nakuru vanwege de status van omheinde reservaat).

    2. Bezoek Baboon Cliff Lookout: Rijd naar dit hooggelegen uitkijkpunt voor een adembenemend 360-graden panorama over het hele meer en het park eronder. Het is de perfecte plek voor landschapsfotografie.

    3. Wandeling naar Makalia Falls: Bezoek het zuidelijke uiteinde van het park om de Makalia Waterval te zien. Het is een serene plek voor een begeleide wandeling en picknick, vooral mooi na de regen.

    4. Vogelobservaties: Breng tijd door met een deskundige ornitholoog die de enorme verscheidenheid aan watervogels en bossoorten identificeert die het park hun thuis noemen.

    5. Out of Africa Lookout: Bezoek deze schilderachtige plek (beroemd gemaakt door de film) om het meer vanuit een ander perspectief te bekijken, vaak omringd door grazende kuddes zebra’s en waterbokken.

    6. Picknicks in het wild: We kunnen een privé “Bush Breakfast” of picknicklunch organiseren op een van de aangewezen locaties zoals Pelican Picnic Site, zodat je kunt dineren terwijl je de nijlpaarden in de verte observeert.
