Lake Nakuru National Park & Attractions
Lake Nakuru National Park, located in central Kenya, is renowned for its stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. Covering approximately 188 square kilometres, the park is centered around Lake Nakuru, a shallow, alkaline lake famous for its large flocks of flamingos and other water birds. Established in 1961, the park’s varied ecosystems include grasslands, acacia woodlands, rocky cliffs, and marshes.
Lake Nakuru National Park is also a sanctuary for both black and white rhinos, making it one of the best places in Kenya to see these endangered species. Additionally, the park is home to lions, leopards, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and over 450 bird species.


Best Time To Visit Lake Nakuru National Park
The Best Time to Visit Lake Nakuru National Park is during the dry seasons, which are from July to October and January to March. These periods offer the best conditions for game viewing, as animals gather around the water sources, and the trails are more accessible. The dry seasons also provide clearer skies and better visibility for photography and bird watching.

Our Travellers Reviews
Outstanding tour operator
I can't say enough good things about Bryson and Petit Maasai. Bryson handled our last-minute trip to Tanzania like he'd been working on it for months instead of a handful of days after we connected about a week before our family arrived.
Awsome
Exciting trip!!! Bryson made a private tour with masai mbome & we had a rest in mountains near Ngorongoro - everything was awsome!!! Morevover, all of our individual things we re made with great discount!Mike is great ranger too!
Kilimanjaro With Petit Maasai safaris- 5 stars!!!
We book 7 days Kilimanjaro with Petit Maasai safaris after having the safari with another company and we made it with a brilliant guide to the summit. We took the Lemosho route, starting in the rain forest and approached the camp via various tents campsites.
A great experience!
We did a safari in the northern parks of Tanzania with Petit Maasai Safaris and it was a great experience! The guide and the cook were really professional and nice with us, trying to make us feel comfortable and to satisfy our requests. Thanks a lot!
