It’s a lovely park - lots of rhino, buffalo, Rothschild giraffe. But a clean up needs to happen. There is lots of rubbish around the shoreline which should be cleaned up and we saw lots of dead flamingos and pelicans. In the past, tourists have flocked to see the countless flamingos on the lake. The lake is being polluted by run off from factories from Nakuru and it seems that is killing the birds. If that isn’t sorted out soon, people may stop coming.
Thanks for taking time to write a review about the park. Am delighted to let you know that KWS (Kenya Wildlife Services) has been carrying out cleaning exercises on all its parks and the travel agents and those in the industry have been a key part of this. KWS has also banned plastics in all parks and you can find this information on their website http://www.kws.go.ke/ We look forward to hosting you on your next safari and you will be able to enjoy more knowing that changes have been done.
