Beautiful, especially for birds around the lake. But the lake appears to be drying up.

Mush more dry and brown when compared to Masai Mara. Large and obvious presence of rangers was good and bad. Narrow designated roads made animal viewing hard if crowded

Lake Nakuru is beautiful, specifically because of how non-tourist focused it is. Most animals were seen from quite a distance. The park is a Rhino sanctuary, but don't expect these big fellows to cross the road in front of you. After a long day, we eventually found a group a couple of 100 meters away from us, which is magic on its own.
Seeing the animals actually be free; very few cars, roads and lots of freedom; is a great experience that one should not miss.

This park felt like jurassic park. Leopards, giraffes, lions, and rhinos in a surprisingly lush world

The lake is getting deeper and bigger with every passing year, making it more salty and less desirable for flamingoes. Almost half of flamingoes have started going to other nearby lakes, trees in and around the lake are dying. The only positive thing is the population of Rhinos is growing and you can see them early in the morning from close range.

Very green area, with the relatively rare sight of rhinos. The abundant vegetation makes spotting animals a bit harder but very beautiful. Lots of pelicans and flamingos still.

You can watch Rhinos easily, but there are very few flamingos that made this lake famous.
It takes 3 hours drive from Nairobi with paved road.
If you want to do another place in this country other than Masai Mara, this is the best.
