Fun Things to Do in Nakuru, Kenya While Staying at The KiNd House Nakuru

Nestled in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, Nakuru is more than just a pit stop—it’s a vibrant playground bursting with adventure, culture, and jaw-dropping natural beauty. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, nature lover, history buff, or just looking for a perfect selfie spot, Nakuru has you covered. Here’s a list of fun and memorable things to do while you’re in town:

1. Visit Lake Nakuru National Park

If pink is your favorite color, you’re in luck. Lake Nakuru is famous for its flocks of flamingos that turn the shoreline into a pink-hued spectacle. The park is also home to rhinos, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and over 400 bird species. Don’t forget your binoculars—and your camera!

2. Hike Menengai Crater

Feel like standing on the rim of a dormant volcano? Menengai Crater offers breathtaking views and a dose of adrenaline. It’s one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world, with myths and legends swirling through its forested paths. Some say it’s haunted. Others say it’s just… really cool.

3. The KiNd House Nakuru; Explore Nakuru City Market

For a true local vibe, head to the Nakuru Market. You’ll find colorful fabrics, fresh produce, souvenirs, Maasai jewelry, and probably someone trying to sell you roasted maize. Bargaining is not just accepted—it’s encouraged. Bring cash and your best smile.

4. Day Trip to Lake Elementaita

Located just a short drive away, Lake Elementaita is quieter than Lake Nakuru but equally beautiful. It’s ideal for birdwatching, picnicking, or simply relaxing by the water. Bonus: Fewer tourists, more zen.

5. Visit Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site

Go back in time—literally. Hyrax Hill is an archaeological site where you can see artifacts from as far back as 3,000 years ago. It’s a great stop for history lovers, and the small museum on-site offers insights into Kenya’s early human settlements.

6. Relax at the Lord Egerton Castle

Yes, Nakuru has a castle. Lord Egerton Castle was built by a love-struck English lord in the 1930s to impress a lady who unfortunately wasn’t impressed. Today, it’s a charming destination for picnics, photography, and wondering what kind of heartbreak budget builds a castle.

7. Take a Biking Tour in the Countryside

Rent a bike or join a guided tour through Nakuru’s scenic landscapes. You’ll ride past green hills, rural villages, and farms—with friendly locals waving along the way. It’s a great way to stretch your legs and experience the real Nakuru.

8. Camp at Kariandusi or the Soysambu Conservancy

For outdoor lovers, Kariandusi offers a tranquil campsite near a prehistoric hand-axe site, while Soysambu Conservancy offers high-end tented stays and game drives with fewer crowds. Either way, you get stars, silence, and maybe a hyena giggling in the distance.

9. The KiNd House Nakuru: Enjoy Local Cuisine

You haven’t really visited Nakuru until you’ve tried nyama choma (roast meat) with ugali and kachumbari. Head to local joints like Gilani’s, Taidys, or try a street-side eatery for authentic flavors. For the brave: goat head stew. For the cautious: chapati and tea.

10. Enjoy Nakuru Nightlife

When the sun goes down, Nakuru lights up. Check out spots like Platinum 7D Lounge, Rafikiz, or Mali’s Place for good music, dancing, and cold drinks. Karaoke, DJs, and live bands—whatever your vibe, you’ll find it.
