A wonderful trip with a lot of fun

Erick is very friendly and helpful. We saw so many animals in the park. He would stop the car and let us take photos of the animals. He introduced many fun facts about the animals,too! It’s a pity that the Flamingos have migrated to Tanzania in this time so we didn’t see them. Definitely would recommend it

Good service.

Agency recommended. We were three people on the tour and it was very easy to move into transport when it came to seeing the animals. Communication with the agency was very fluid and clear and they offered a very good service. It was very convenient for us to find this day tour to Lake Nakuru, as on other pages I found tours from two days onwards.

Operator response

Es genial que la comunicación y la experiencia con el transporte hayan sido fáciles y agradables para los tres. Esperamos darles la bienvenida nuevamente para otra aventura inolvidable en la naturaleza.

Review for our Safari Tour to Lake Nakuru National Park

We had an unforgettable safari tour to Lake Nakuru National Park – thanks to our guide Edwin! He was one of the nicest and warmest guides we have ever met. Edwin picked us up on time, explained everything calmly and was incredibly attentive throughout the tour. His knowledge of the animals and nature was impressive – we learned so much and enjoyed every minute at the same time. You felt like you were out with a good friend who shared his passion for Kenya and its wildlife. We would do a tour with Edwin again anytime we come back to Kenya. Highly recommended! 🌿🦒🐘

Unforgettable Experience in Nakuru Lake.

We had a great experience which would not be possible without our guide Julius - very well prepared, knowledgeable, profesional guide who from the very beginning made this tour special. On the way to Nakuru, he shared with us stories about Kenyan history, tradition, customs and everyday life so we could better understand people we met. In the park he knew where to go to see animals. He told us how to spot them, explained their behavior. We saw all animal which you could see in Nakuru. This is a special national park as it has a lake in the center with flamingos. On the way back we had a chance to visit Naivasha lake and tea plantation. We came back MEGA satisfied and definitely recommend Lake Nakuru one day private trip with Julius and Kenya Bush Expedition Tours. Everything went as planned.
