Lake Nakuru National Park sits just minutes from Nakuru town, making it the easiest big-game park in Kenya to reach for a day trip. The alkaline lake at its centre draws flamingos and more than 450 other bird species.

The park is a fenced rhino sanctuary and one of the most reliable places in the country to see both black and white rhino in a single morning. Rothschild giraffe, lion, leopard and large buffalo herds are all resident.

Baboon Cliff and Out of Africa lookout give sweeping views across the lake and the Rift Valley escarpment.
