Lake Nakuru National Park
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for
Wildlife photography enthusiasts, Families, Birdwatchers, Safari lovers

Om
Raske fakta: Mer enn én million flamingoer farger ofte bredden av den alkaliske sodasjøen i høysesongen, et rosa bånd som er synlig fra luften. Området rundt sjøen er et av Afrikas tetteste neshornområder, med ukentlige luftpatruljer for å telle hvite og svarte neshorn.
Høydepunkter: Den rosa fargen til flamingoene her avhenger av spirulina, en blågrønn alge som trives i det varme sodavannet. Når tusenvis av fugler letter samtidig, dundrer det som kraftig regn som treffer vannoverflaten, en følelse som får hårene til å reise seg.
Insidertips
- 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.
