Finding Rhinoceros in Kenya

Looking for the rhinoceros in Kenya? Start with Lake Nakuru National Park, where access and habitat make a sighting more likely than a chance roadside glimpse.

Lake Nakuru National Park in Rift Valley is the place to begin. Flamingo-fringed lake, rhino sanctuary, and acacia woodland. Compact but spectacular. Give yourself quiet time at dawn or dusk and keep your distance.

Kenya context: Lions on the savanna, elephants at the waterhole, and the greatest wildlife show on Earth.

In Kenya, look especially around grassland, savanna, and open woodland. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
