The good driving to and from and the excellent bird and animal sightings. Particularly impressive were the large herds of zebra by the huge flocks of flamingos.

A Fair Experience

Sarah_B, Jul 2023

We, as a group of two people, had an overall positive experience during the tour. Promptly at 6:30 AM, we were picked up in a small sedan. However, contrary to the advertised amenities, the sedan did not include water or WiFi for the trip. Fortunately, the driver was kind enough to make a stop at a gas station so we could purchase some water. We arrived at Lake Nakuru around 9:30 AM, where an additional entrance fee of $60 per person was required. We spent approximately two hours at the park but missed out on some attractions due to the limitations of the small sedan. We requested a transfer to a van with higher clearance to navigate the challenging terrains, but the driver ignored our request. Despite this, we weren't too upset as our main interest was seeing the rhinos and flamingos - which we saw. We departed around 12 PM and returned to Nairobi by 4 PM. It's worth noting that the driver solely fulfilled the role of a driver and was not a guide, thus there were questions he couldn't answer. For an additional cost, the park provided a guide. Although we were content with seeing everything we desired, considering the price we paid, our experience could have been better.

Long day but worth it!

Jacqueline_T, Jun 2023

It was a very long day but well worth the investment. Our guide Erick had to find another route as part of the normal route was diverted. This however gave us the opportunity to pass through many small villages. He managed to get us there and back at a reasonable time and we have to say thanks to him especially. Lake Nakuru itself did not disappoint. Lots of wildlife and a beautiful setting. We would love to go back there for a few days, but have lots of good memories already.

Hay mucho mejores parques

Jennifer_S, Nov 2023

El parque no tiene casi animales o por lo menos cuando fuimos. Guía tímido con vehículo en condiciones muy pobre. Era una Van e ibamos incomodos ya que eramos 8 adultos. Distancia muy lejos. Entrada al parque costosa para lo que vimos.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for booking our tour, we are sorry if you did not see enough animals its because of rainy season which is natural and un avoidable
