Nakuru is changing fast and, in the process, transforming into one of Kenya’s more agreeable towns, gentrifying around the edges and adopting some of the better aspects of Nairobi – minus the stress and the crime.
Most travelers speed through the town on their way to the lakes and if that’s all you do, you might wonder why anyone would choose to stay here – at first glance, Kenya’s fourth-largest city can appear grim and provincial, without much to offer besides a convenient refuel. But stick around longer and we bet you’ll start to like it.
LAKE NAKURU SOPA LODGE
Located on a range of hills that form the western limits of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, the lodge offers spectacular views over the vastness of Africa.
Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge overlooks Lake Nakuru and its surrounding National Park, one that is a paradise for bird watchers and wildlife lovers alike.
Lake Nakuru National Park is mainly a wooded and bushy grassland with a wide ecological diversity and characteristic habitats that range from the lake waters to the escarpment and ridges.
Mbweha Camp is nestled up against the southern border of Lake Nakuru National Park with beautiful views over the Eburru and Mau ranges. Congreve Conservancy is part of the greater conservancy area called Soysambu which has a large part of Elementaita within its borders.
Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge is nestled along the Lion Hill overlooking the spectacular flamingo pink rimmed Lake Nakuru. Its location affords panoramic views of the lake and the picturesque Lake Nakuru National Park.
