Exploring the Park

Guides

To explore the park on foot, the service of a KWS Ranger is required due to the high density of potentially dangerous wildlife. As a knowledgeable naturalist, a KWS Ranger may be booked in advance from the Warden at the Park HQ.


What to take with you

Drinking water, picnic and camping equipment (if you stay overnight), binoculars, camera, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, anti-malarial prophylactics, walking boots and field guides.


The Surroundings

Ideally situated for visits to other Rift Valley lakes, consider a trip to lakes Naivasha, Elementeita, Baringo and Bogoria. Or plan a trek within Hell’s Gate National Park and Mt. Longonot National Park.
Extended safaris to the Maasai Mara Reserve or points within central Kenya circuits most often begin, or end, at Lake Nakuru National Park.
Interesting prehistoric sites in the Park’s vicinity, Hyrax Hill and the Kariandusi Prehistoric site, are also worth a visit.
