Lake Nakuru National Park: Comprehensive Expedition Overview

Encircling the shallow alkaline Lake Nakuru, this 188 sq km park is one of Kenya’s most successful rhino sanctuaries, protecting both black and white rhinoceros populations.

Lake Nakuru National Park sits dramatically below the Rift Valley escarpment. It is famous for its sanctuary protection of endangered Rothschild’s giraffes and dense black and white rhino herds.

Fringing yellow-fever acacia woodlands provide habitat for leopards and rare tree-climbing lions, while Baboon Cliff offers commanding vistas across the lake basin.
