Lake Nakuru National Park
Mejor época para visitar
Enter between 06:30 and 09:00 or 16:00 to 18:00 when predators are most active and the light is softest for photography. The dry season from June to September concentrates wildlife at the water's edge, so the chance of spotting rhinos and prey is higher.
Consejos para el presupuesto
The Kenya Wildlife Service fee system uses different prices for citizens, residents, and foreign tourists; bring a valid ID card to take advantage of local rates. Arrive in a group or on weekdays for shorter queues, and refuse offers from rogue guides outside the official gate so you don't get charged double.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Más de un millón de flamencos enanos suelen teñir las orillas del lago de soda alcalino durante la temporada alta, una cinta rosada visible desde el cielo. La zona alrededor del lago es uno de los bastiones de rinocerontes más densamente poblados de África, con patrullas aéreas semanales para contar rinocerontes blancos y negros.
Destacados: El color rosado de los flamencos aquí depende de la espirulina, un alga verdeazulada que prospera en el agua de soda tibia. El despegue simultáneo de miles de aves retumba como una lluvia torrencial que azota la superficie del agua, una sensación que pone la piel de gallina.
Consejos de expertos
- Rent a 4x4 with an open roof so the dusty dirt roads and rugged terrain stay comfortable.
- Bring a telephoto lens of at least 200mm; Baboon Cliff offers the most dramatic panoramic photo spot of the lake.
- Do not feed the vervet monkeys or baboons, as their troops often snatch through open car windows.
- Start the safari from the main gate at first light and be ready with binoculars, because more than 400 bird species are spread across this area.
