Lake Nakuru National Park is a compact yet vibrant wildlife sanctuary located in central Kenya, about 160 kilometers northwest of Nairobi. The park is centered around Lake Nakuru, a shallow alkaline lake that is part of the Rift Valley soda lakes. This scenic park is famous for its incredible birdlife, especially the thousands of flamingos that often line the shores in a dazzling pink display. The park’s varied habitats — including grasslands, acacia woodlands, and rocky escarpments — support a rich diversity of flora and fauna within its 188 square kilometers.
Beyond its birdwatching appeal, Lake Nakuru National Park is also a stronghold for rhino conservation. It is one of the best places in Kenya to see both black and white rhinos, which are protected within its fenced boundaries. Other commonly spotted wildlife includes buffaloes, giraffes (especially the rare Rothschild’s giraffe), zebras, baboons, waterbucks, and lions. Leopards are occasionally seen too, often lounging in the acacia trees. The park’s relatively small size makes game viewing efficient and rewarding, particularly for travelers with limited time.
The park also boasts stunning viewpoints such as Baboon Cliff and Lion Hill, offering panoramic vistas of the lake and surrounding landscapes — perfect for photography and sightseeing. Despite being close to Nakuru town, the park maintains a peaceful, natural atmosphere and is accessible year-round. Lake Nakuru National Park is a favorite stop on many central Kenya safari circuits, especially for those interested in a mix of wildlife, birdwatching, and breathtaking Rift Valley scenery.
