Lake Nakuru
Natonal park holds a variety of different habitats that in turn host many
different species of animals. The habitats include saline lake, fresh
water springs, acacia woodland, open grassland, high forest, Eurphobia
forest and olea forest. Lake Nakuru has the added advantage of being very
close to Manengai Crater and the Prehistoric sites of Hyrax Hill and Kariandusi.
You can also visit two other fascinating sites, Lake Bogoria and Lake
Baringo, which are within 2 hours drive.
The hostel was once an old colonial farmhouse, built in the early 1900’s.
It offers basic, comfortable accommodation for approximately 40 students
and 8 adults. There is a fully equipped kitchen and dinning room facilities,
showers and toilets. The sleeping arrangements are dormitories. We can
provide a cook to assist you for an additional fee.
We are situated approximately 4km from the main Gate inside the National
park so you can even view game without leaving the compound. This is certainly
low cost accommodation within one of Kenya’s most popular National
parks. It is truly a great place to learn about wildlife and the environment.
| Costs: Note:
The National park entrance fee is free for members. The Kenya Wildlife
Service closes the gates to the park at 6.30 p.m. It is important
to arrive before this time, unless otherwise arranged with KWS,
as this regulation is quite strict. |
