Lake Nakuru National Park is located in the Rift Valley,1750 meters above sea level. Lake Nakuru is known as an ornithological paradise by birdwatchers because the lake is world famous as the location of the greatest bird-spectacle on earth, which boasts anywhere between one and two million lesser and greater pink flamingos that feed on the abundant algae thriving in the lake's warm waters. It is one of the few parks that has been specifically established for the protection of birds, specifically flamingos. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here. You will drive through the floor of the Great Rift Valley from Nairobi, while stopping on the way for curios and to admire and marvel at the breathtaking views of the escarpment along the way. Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for a mid-morning game drive. Have picnic lunch at leisure. As you find your way out of the park, have another game drive and embark on your way to Nairobi.

We, as a group of two people, had an overall positive experience during the tour. Promptly at 6:30 AM, we were picked up in a small sedan. However, contrary to the advertised amenities, the sedan did not include water or WiFi for the trip. Fortunately, the driver was kind enough to make a stop at a gas station so we could purchase some water.
We arrived at Lake Nakuru around 9:30 AM, where an additional entrance fee of $60 per person was required. We spent approximately two hours at the park but missed out on some attractions due to the limitations of the small sedan. We requested a transfer to a van with higher clearance to navigate the challenging terrains, but the driver ignored our request. Despite this, we weren't too upset as our main interest was seeing the rhinos and flamingos - which we saw. We departed around 12 PM and returned to Nairobi by 4 PM.
It's worth noting that the driver solely fulfilled the role of a driver and was not a guide, thus there were questions he couldn't answer. For an additional cost, the park provided a guide.
Although we were content with seeing everything we desired, considering the price we paid, our experience could have been better.

It was a very long day but well worth the investment. Our guide Erick had to find another route as part of the normal route was diverted. This however gave us the opportunity to pass through many small villages. He managed to get us there and back at a reasonable time and we have to say thanks to him especially. Lake Nakuru itself did not disappoint. Lots of wildlife and a beautiful setting. We would love to go back there for a few days, but have lots of good memories already.

The good driving to and from and the excellent bird and animal sightings. Particularly impressive were the large herds of zebra by the huge flocks of flamingos.
