When to visit

The best time to visit Lake Nakuru National Park is during the dry season from July to October when the weather is cooler and the animals are more active. However, the park is also beautiful during the wet season from November to June when the landscape is lush and green. It is advisable to avoid visiting during the heavy rains in April and May.

Getting around

Visitors can explore Lake Nakuru National Park by car or on foot. The park has well-maintained roads that are suitable for self-driving safaris. Guided tours are also available for those who prefer a more immersive experience. Walking safaris are a great way to get up close to the wildlife and birdlife in the park.

Stay hydrated and carry plenty of water with you during your visit. Respect the wildlife and follow the park rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Don't forget your camera to capture the stunning landscapes and wildlife encounters. Check the weather forecast before your visit to pack accordingly.
