Why Stay in Lake Nakuru National Park

The Nakuru eco-system comprises the lake, surrounded by wooded areas and grasslands which support a number of Rothschild Giraffes, Zebra, Impala, Gazelle, Waterbuck, Lion, Warthog, Bushbuck, Buffalo, plus the elusive Leopard.
Best Time to Visit Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park is best visited during the dry season from June to February, when wildlife is easier to spot and roads are more accessible.
