Lake Nakuru National Park Tours & Holidays

Kenya is one of the best destinations to enjoy unforgettable wildlife experiences and safari holidays. This east African country is home to UNESCO-listed Lake Nakuru National Park, a 73-square-mile environment of biodiversity and beauty. The lake comprises nearly a third of the park, with this precious area being dedicated exclusively to wildlife conservation. It's Kenya’s most famous lake, thanks to its eye-catching population of flamingos.

A birdwatchers' paradise, Lake Nakuru home to millions of colourful, vibrant aquatic birds. If you think life is prettier in pink, this national park will be your happy place. The park is famous for its enormous population of flamingos that take up residence along the shallow lake. There are often thousands of these creatures lining the shores, giving the lake a mirage-like appearance.

Birds aside, the park currently has around 45 black and 31 white rhinoceros, according to UNESCO. It’s also home to hippo, zebra, waterbuck, Cape buffalo, Rothschild's giraffe, lion, leopard, hyena, jackal, serval cat and mongoose.
