Sam was an amazing tour guide and highly accommodative of any special requests! He was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and had a special book for additional detail. We saw all of the top animals and got to see a feeding frenzy with a load of lions and hyenas. Amazing experience!

We couldn't have had a better tour guide, 'Black Santa' was friendly and helpful and really told us a lot about the animals and made sure we had the best experience. He was flexible to our needs and wishes about toilet breaks, food and stopping for photos. He's excellent!
(The only negative thing was the way to pay for the entrance fee to the lake, which is via an app. I had enough money on all my cards I tried 3 different cards entered all the information and it wouldn't let me confirm payment after confirming it with the banks. In the end our guide got the manager to send me a direct link which worked but that government payment site needs fixing. )
But apart from that difficulty, the experience was truly wonderful and exceeded my expectations. The optional boat trip is not to be missed, it was the best way to end the day and I we saw a number of animals up close.

Had an amazing trip to Nakuru and Lake Navaisha! My tour guide, known as Black Santa was great - very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and Kenya as a whole, and navigated the pretty crazy Kenyan roads very well. I saw so much wildlife - zebras (loads!), giraffes, buffalo, some flamingos (but a lot fewer than some pics on the internet show), rhinos and even some lionesses, among others, as well as lots of hippos on the Lake Navaisha boat ride. The drive to Nakuru was a little over three hours, but totally worth it. I was on such a high when I got back.

We had an excellent day around beautiful, peaceful Lake Nakuru. The national park offers much more than the famous flamingos; we saw plenty of wildlife while enjoying the surroundings. Samuel was a highly knowledgeable guide who really made an effort to give us the best possible wildlife sightings. The boat trip on Lake Naivasha was a pleasant change after many hours of driving. Also a great trip (and great guide) for bird lovers

It's a day trip from Nairobi. It's a 2 hour drive without traffic in the morning but 3.5 hrs with traffic returning back.
our driver/guide Albert is very nice and knowledgeable. He was very through with animals and answered all our questions patiently.
But don't go to Lake Nakuru with the intention of seeing thousands of Flamingos. Majority of them migrated to Lake Bogoria several years ago as per our guide due to change in water. Lake Bogoria is 100 Kms from Lake Nakuru and if you want to see thousands of Flamingo, you need to go there. We did see some Flamingos but also we did see a lot of black rhinos which are more in number than even Masai Mara.
we also saw a lot of lions, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes and pelicans

From start to finish had a great experience with Black Santa our tour guide… nothing was to much to ask of him…he made sure we had the best time ever and his knowledge of the areas and animals we visited on the day was first class…the boat ride around crescent island on lake Naivasha was well worth the extra payment as you got up close to the wonderful hippos and some great sights on the water and around the island… Chris our boat tour guide was amazing also with his local knowledge and knew all the best places to go on the lake… even got an eagle to flyover and pick up some fish he had thrown out the boat… was a fantastic sight. All in all had a great day out

We had a wonderful trip to Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha where we had the pleasure of seeing black rhinos at Nakuru national park. Anthony was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide who took great care of us and took the time to answer our questions and tell us about the lakes and the birds and animals that live around them. If you're planning to go on this tour, i would suggest taking a packed lunch so you can have more time in the national park.

Enjoyed this tour! Martin was a great guide, who knew every animal we encountered during the game drive. The trip itself is worthwhile, and A treat especially for birdwatching enthusiasts. Bring binoculars!
