Worth agreeing on before you meet

Respect Park Rules

Stay in your vehicle at all times unless at designated walking areas. Do not feed, call, or approach wildlife. Speed limits (40km/h on main roads, 25km/h on tracks) exist to protect animals and visitors alike.

Conservation Matters

Lake Nakuru is a critical rhino sanctuary — your park fees directly fund anti-poaching patrols and conservation. Report any suspicious activity to rangers. Never share specific rhino locations on social media — poachers monitor these posts.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Lake Nakuru travel guide.
