Beatiful scenery. Will get to see pelicans and greater Flamingos. I appreciate the conservation efforts. Love it

Beautiful place. Had an easier time when the beach was under the community's watch. Since KWS took over recently, it is no longer a desirable destination. They are always asking for "lunch" and if you don't, they get rude. Cars can no longer access the beach. I have been going there for the past 4 years, but I am now looking for an alternative.

Beautiful!! Nice place for picnic.. entry fee was 200ksh. The entry is on a rough road and not good for small cars. Drive right next to the lake. There is not toobmany flamingo, but nice place to relax.

The scenery is breathtaking. Sweet morning Sun. Fresh air and immense calmness. Two flamingo types; pink and white. Not sure of there scientific difference.

Paradise for birders ...and gives you the real picture of volcanic features as you watch the sleeping worrier hill. Its even more enjoyable when you spend a night at kikopy beach camp in a cabin giving you a front view of the lake
