Explore Lake Nakuru National park the only parks in Kenya where you can drive up close to White Rhino and may even snap a shot of them with flocks of flamingos on the Lake in the background.

There are also many other water birds, most notably pelicans, herons and storks that call the lake home. The Park is one of the best places in Kenya to see Leopard and, as it is a Rhino sanctuary, this is one of the places in Kenya to see the Big Five.

Lake Bogoria no drive, but enjyoed lake Nakuru

フラミンゴの群れを見るためにはるばるボゴリア湖に連れて行ってもらったのですが、入場料を払ってから、車が走る道は水浸しで、反対から回るルートも閉ざされていると知らされました。結果的に公園に入ってから百メートルほどの湖畔からフラミンゴなどの鳥を見ただけで、全く公園内は走れず。これで入場料一人50ドルとは…。 We had 1night2days tour to lake Bogoria and Nakuru. At the Great Rift Valley, a tire had a small puncture but our driver guide Stephan dropped at a petro station and fixed it, it took less than 30min. At lake Bogoria, the park was flooded and we couldn't drive in the park at all, nothing but see thousands of flamingos.That's all for the entrance fee US$50! But it's OK otherwise we have no chance to see them so close, so many... On the way back, Stephan showed us the beekeeper on Acacia threes, stopped at the equator. The 2nd day, after breakfast we had a safari with our 4x4 roof top van. Stephan took us to watch a lion couple mating about 10m distance! We met rhinos(with a baby),zebras, giraffes, buffalos etc., visited a waterfall and spent more than 4 hours. Stephan is nice and helpful, careful driver so that we had a very good time. He shared with us a tasty local biskets which he bought from a vender on the road near nakuru. We like it so much so that on way back to Nairobi, we asked him to buy it for souvenir. When he stopped at a local vegetable market for his shopping, he left us in the car and locked it. It was excited and a good experience to see the local markets and people, observe him negociating with them. But we were surrounded by many many farmers in the car, and one guy who staring at me and my belongings found the bisckets seen from tiny slit of my backpack, and asked it to me again and again. I just tried to ignore him but it was very scary he even tried to open the window. Another good experience with him is, he drove a rather quiet highland route to the Great Rift Valley, along the way, we saw the local people carrying milking can in a foggy morning, it's a kind of dream-like atmosphere. The road from Nakuru to Nairobi, he took a different route which we could see green house and tea plantations. We have been to the Great Rift Valley three times with guide so far and he is the only one who reffered the history of the Great Rift Valley. Our accommodation was MatFam Resort. The staff are all nice, the room is not big but clean and tidy, the food was good. The problem was we didn't have hot water. FYI, amenity is soap only, one local TV channel, no tea&coffee facility in the room.

Response from the operator: Thank you Masahiroi for sharing such a great experience on our page. Surely it tells it all about the safari you enjoyed with us here in Kenya.

2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

How much does 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures cost?

+

Prices start at $655 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.

Is 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Nairobi?

+

On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Nairobi?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures?

+

Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 228 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures offered in?

+

It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

Is 2 Day Lake Nakuru National Park Safari - Daily Departures wheelchair or stroller accessible?

+
