Most big safari animals are present in Lake Nakuru NP with the exception of elephants. The park is known for its populations of black and white rhino. The white rhino is particularly common, and different groups can be encountered throughout the day. Hippo, waterbuck, Burchell's zebra, and Thomson's gazelle are common on the floodplains. Sometimes predators like Leopard and Lion may be spotted.
The relatively high altitude of the park makes the climate slightly colder than might be expected this close to the equator. Temperatures are quite mild though, and consistent year-round. Daytime temperatures are pleasant in the mid to upper twenties, although it is much cooler at nights. Warm clothing for early morning game drives is a necessity. The wettest months are April and May. The rest of the year is relatively dry with some rain throughout.

Lake Nakuru is a very safe park to visit. Security within the park is high, and there is no cause for concern when staying here. It is located next to the small town with the same name. However, one should always be cautious when walking around any towns in Kenya without a guide. See ‘cities and other urban areas safety precautions’ for further information.
Several vaccinations are required before a trip to Kenya. Lake Nakuru is a shallow soda lake in the Rift valley and malaria is a big concern here. Precautions should be taken seriously. Apart from bringing antimalarials, the use of mosquito repellent and covering up exposed skin in the evening is highly recommended.
