Driving through Lake Nakuru National Park allows you to see the captivating beauty of the myriads of Pink Flamingos that shadow the alkaline lake’s banks. These magnificent birds feed on the abundant algae that thrives in the shallow tepid water, and they are frequently described as the world’s greatest bird spectacle.
Aside from the spectacular birding opportunities, the park is also a Rhino Sanctuary, and careful conservation and management over the decades has made the park a haven for a growing Rhino population, as well as other members of the Big Five.

Driving through Lake Nakuru National Park allows you to see the captivating beauty of the myriads of Pink Flamingos that shadow the alkaline lake’s banks. 

Best time to visit:

Each year, the best time to see flamingos is between June and February. Because the vast majority of the birds migrate to Lake Natron in Tanzania in March, April, and May, these months are best avoided.

Things to do at the park:

1. Game drives
2. Walking
3. Birdwatching
