Current trends
Lake Nakuru's tourism draw continues to shift from its once-famous flamingo flocks (now mostly relocated to Lake Bogoria) toward near-guaranteed rhino sightings at its dedicated sanctuary, with Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge's gourmet dining and spa services anchoring the park's luxury tier alongside cashless KWSpay entry and returning boat trips.
