Discover the Majestic Views at Menengai Crater View Point

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from any point in Lake Nakuru National Park, head towards the main park road. Follow the signs directing you to the Menengai Crater View Point. The drive will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes depending on your starting location within the park. The roads are generally well-maintained, but be cautious of wildlife crossing the road. Upon reaching the Menengai Crater View Point, there is a parking area available. Note that there might be an entrance fee to the national park, which costs around 1,200 KES for non-residents.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a matatu (shared minibus) from Nakuru town to the Lake Nakuru National Park entrance. Once you reach the park, you may need to hire a private taxi or arrange for a guided tour to reach the Menengai Crater View Point, as public transport within the park is limited. Make sure to negotiate the taxi fare beforehand; it typically costs around 1,000 to 2,000 KES for the round trip, depending on your negotiation skills.

• Guided Tour

  Consider booking a guided tour from a reputable tour company in Nakuru. This option often includes transportation to and from the Menengai Crater View Point as part of the package. The price varies based on the tour provider, but expect to pay around 3,000 to 5,000 KES per person for a half-day tour that includes the visit to the viewpoint and possibly other attractions in the park.
