About The Lake Nakuru Lake Elementaita

 

Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita, situated in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, are two stunning freshwater lakes known for their scenic beauty, abundant wildlife, and diverse birdlife. Lake Nakuru, located within Nakuru County, is renowned for its vast flocks of flamingos that blanket the shoreline, creating a mesmerizing pink hue against the backdrop of the surrounding savannah and acacia woodlands. Lake Elementaita, located a short distance north of Lake Nakuru, offers a more tranquil setting, with its serene waters and picturesque landscapes providing a haven for birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers alike. Together, these two lakes form part of the Lake Nakuru National Park and the Soysambu Conservancy, both of which are important conservation areas that protect and preserve Kenya's rich biodiversity and natural heritage.

 

History of Lake Nakuru Lake Elementaita

 

Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita have long been revered by the indigenous communities of the Rift Valley, who consider them sacred sites imbued with spiritual significance. Over the centuries, these lakes have provided sustenance and shelter to countless generations of people and wildlife, serving as vital sources of water, food, and livelihoods. In the early 20th century, British colonialists recognized the ecological importance of the lakes and designated them as protected areas, laying the foundation for their eventual establishment as national parks and conservation reserves. Today, Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita continue to attract visitors from around the world, drawn by their natural beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage.

 

Time to Visit

 

The best time to visit Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita is during the dry season, from June to September, when the weather is mild and the wildlife is most active. This is also the peak season for birdwatching, as thousands of flamingos flock to Lake Nakuru to feed on the algae-rich waters. However, the lakes are worth visiting year-round, each season offering its own unique attractions and experiences. Visitors should be aware that the rainy season, from March to May and from October to December, may result in muddy roads and limited wildlife sightings, but also brings lush vegetation and fewer crowds.

 

Entry Fee

 

Entry fees for Lake Nakuru National Park and Soysambu Conservancy vary depending on nationality, age, and type of vehicle. Visitors are advised to check the official websites or contact park authorities for up-to-date information on entry fees and any additional charges for activities such as guided tours, camping, or boat rides. It's also recommended to carry cash in local currency to pay for park fees, as credit card facilities may not be available at the entry gates.

 

Time Required for Travel

 

Traveling to Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita from Nairobi typically takes around 2 to 3 hours by road, depending on traffic conditions and the route taken. Visitors can choose to drive themselves or book guided tours that include transportation and park entry fees. Once at the lakes, plan to spend at least a full day exploring the area and enjoying activities such as game drives, birdwatching, nature walks, and picnics. Those with more time may opt to stay overnight at one of the lodges or campsites near the lakeshores, allowing for a more immersive experience amidst the natural beauty and tranquility of the Rift Valley.

 

Traveling Tips

 

Before embarking on a trip to Lake Nakuru and Lake Elementaita, it's advisable to check the weather forecast and pack accordingly, including sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, and lightweight clothing. Bring along plenty of drinking water and snacks for the journey, as well as binoculars and cameras to capture the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife sightings. Respect the rules and regulations of the national parks and conservancies, including speed limits, wildlife viewing etiquette, and waste disposal guidelines. Lastly, be prepared for bumpy roads and occasional wildlife crossings while driving within the parks, and exercise caution to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for yourself and other visitors.
