WHERE TO STAY IN LAKE NAKURU PARK

Accommodation choice in Lake Nakuru is an important part of your superlative holiday in Kenya. Your decision should be made not only from a budget standpoint, but with consideration for your personal preferences for style of lodging, location (inside or outside the park), levels of service and food quality, amenities, facilities and more. Most rating systems, though, are susceptible to the one time passionate and relative responses of guests experience, so you cannot be sure what you will find when you arrive at your lodging based on your expectation.

For this reason, AfricanMecca has developed the Safari rating system that is based on an objective review of each accommodation and related safari experience using a guest perspective. Making your lodging choice with our system ensures that you will have an exceptional trip to Lake Nakuru National Park.



Our structure has three ratings – premium luxury Tier 1, mid-range deluxe Tier 2 and value Tier 3. At Nakuru Park, you have a choice of Tier 2 and Tier 3 accommodations. At the Tier 2 level, Flamingo Hill Camp and Mbweha Camp offer you a balance between cost and quality. These accommodations have a few numbers of guests than most Tier 3 lodgings would resulting in receiving personable service.

Although some additional services such as special bush meals and upgraded rooms where available, may be added for a supplemental cost. Flamingo Hill Camp is located by the park gate border, and the 25 traditional tents are surrounded by manicured wild-lawns and bush-gardens with breathtaking views of the valley.

Mbweha Camp is outside the southern end of the park in a 6400 acre private conservancy. Being outside the park gives you access to supplementary activities that are not allowed inside the park, such as night game drives, biking and nature walks but you are not close to the entrance of the park as it is a 30-45 minute drive to the entry point.



The ten stone cottages at Mbweha are designed to meet the "rest and relaxation" needs of solo travelers, couples, honeymooners, families and small groups. The affordable AfricanMecca Tier 3 options at Lake Nakuru are perfect for the budget-conscious vacationer who wants to be near the action and is satisfied with rudimentary service, palatable food and set schedules for activities.

These accommodations have higher numbers of guests than Tier 1 and Tier 2. The largest economical accommodation in the park is Lake Nakuru Lodge that offers ninety-five deluxe rooms and two suites, and the lodge can comfortably occupy over 200 of its guests. With an occupancy availability of over 150 guests, Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge offers sixty-four standard rooms and three suites in small chalets with private patios for viewing the lake and surrounding gardens.

The distinct ten canvas bandas of Maili Saba Camp have views of the lush Menengai volcanic landscape. The camp is around seven miles from the park entrance, but due to road conditions, the drive takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
