Yes. Lake Nakuru National Park supports a healthy lion population and offers excellent opportunities for lion sightings. Although the park is often associated with rhinos and flamingos, lions remain among its most sought-after wildlife attractions. The relatively compact size of the park increases the chances of locating prides during game drives.
