Lake Nakuru

Makalia Falls & Southern Shore

The park's quietest corner — rhino country with seasonal waterfalls and open lion grasslands.

The southern sector of Lake Nakuru is quieter and wilder, centred around the Makalia River which cascades over a small waterfall during the rains. This area's dense woodland and grassland mosaic is prime rhino territory — both black and white rhino are frequently sighted along the Makalia circuit. The southern lakeshore also attracts large herds of waterbuck, and the open grasslands between Makalia and Nderit Gate are one of the best spots in the park for lion.
