The lodges and camps in this category are located inside the national park or on elevated sites overlooking the lake. Most offer meal-inclusive accommodation, beautiful natural surroundings and convenient access to safari activities.

Why visit Nakuru
What Is Lake Nakuru Famous For?
Lake Nakuru is famous for:
- Black and white rhinos
- Flamingos and other waterbirds
- Rothschild’s giraffes
- Scenic views across the lake
- Baboon Cliff
- Makalia Falls
- Acacia woodland
- Compact and rewarding game drives
The lake was once known internationally for enormous concentrations of flamingos. Flamingos can still be seen, but their numbers change depending on water levels, food availability and conditions across other Rift Valley lakes.
Visitors should therefore avoid assuming that the lake will always appear completely pink.
