Description

Experience a full-day private wildlife excursion from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park, one of Kenya's best-known wildlife conservation areas and an important sanctuary for both black and white rhinos.

The park lies approximately 156 km northwest of Nairobi along the Nairobi–Nakuru highway. It encompasses approximately 188 km² of grassland, acacia woodland, rocky escarpments, lake habitats and other wildlife environments.

Lake Nakuru is also known for its birdlife and scenic lake surroundings. Flamingos may be present depending on current lake and ecological conditions, but their numbers and exact locations vary naturally.
