Why Travel to Lake Nakuru? by

Situated a two-hour drive north-west of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, Lake Nakuru is a bird- and animal-watcher’s haven. The alkaline lake, which is surrounded by the Lake Nakuru National Park, is home to a huge number of bird species and 56 species of mammal, including a healthy population of the highly endangered rhino. Be sure to look into the trees here, too, where tree-climbing lions are often spotted taking an afternoon nap.

Highlights of Lake Nakuru

  • Prolific birdlife – over 400 species. Depending on water levels, millions of pink flamingos may be seen here
  • Mammals galore, including four of the Big Five (all, except elephant)
  • Rare, tree-climbing lions
  • Makalia Waterfall
  • Beautiful scenery – rocky escarpments, forested areas and, of course, the lake itself
  • The biggest Euphorbia forest in Africa

There are a variety of Budget Safari options that include Lake Nakuru and other highlights. Here is a list of the safari types available for the budget traveller:

Overland Safaris

Accommodated, camping and family overland safaris that include Lake Nakuru offer the budget traveller an adventurous journey into the African bush by Overland truck. The overland safaris can be either camping or accommodated giving budget travellers the choice between spacious dome tents and more comfortable lodge style accommodation. The camping overland safaris are generally popular with groups of young travellers, in search of an exciting and social journey into Africa’s wilderness areas. All three types of overland tour entail more teamwork and participation than other safaris.

The family tours are designed specifically with children in mind, typically covering shorter travelling distances at a time and requiring active participation in setting up camp and preparing meals. The accommodation is generally in dome tents and the focus on these tours is on adventure activities for the whole family.

Budget Camping and Budget Lodge Safaris

Camping safaris offer budget travellers a truly immersive African experience of a lifetime, camping out under the star-filled skies in the bush. A level of participation is required on the camping safaris, on which spacious dome tents are used. Lodge Safaris provide a more comfortable way of getting the most out of your African experience, providing lodge style accommodation.

Exclusive Budget Safaris

Exclusive Budget Safaris that include Lake Nakuru cater for more discerning African budget travellers looking for a truly African experience. The Exclusive Budget Safaris offer accommodation in luxury campsites or a combination of luxury tented and lodge style accommodation. The group size on the exclusive safaris is typically smaller, the vehicles are 4x4 land cruisers and little, if any, participation is required. 

Take a look at our Lake Nakuru Safaris or read about Kenya, one of Africa's top safari destinations.
