Planning your family’s August holiday trip in Nakuru? At Joe Photography and Safaris, we’re thrilled to take you on a magical adventure to Lake Nakuru National Park—a trip filled with wildlife, laughter, photography, and family bonding. Whether you’re a parent preparing your children or a solo traveler joining the ride, one of the most important steps in making this day trip successful is knowing what to carry.

Here’s a complete, practical guide to help you pack smart and stay comfortable during the trip.

Must-Have Items for the Trip

1. National ID or Passport
Before anything else, don’t forget your identification documents. For Kenyan citizens, a national ID is required to access the park. Non-Kenyan visitors must carry a valid passport. These are essential for park entry and verification.

2. Comfortable Footwear
Lake Nakuru National Park offers stunning view points like Baboon Cliff that may involve short walks. A pair of comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes with grip is essential, especially for navigating dusty or uneven trails. Avoid heels, sandals, or new shoes that might cause discomfort.

3. Sun Protection
August brings bright skies and warm weather. Pack a sun hat or cap, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect your skin and eyes from UV rays. Kids are especially sensitive to sunburn, so don’t skip these.

4. Water Bottle – Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key during outdoor activities. While Joe Photography and Safaris offers unlimited water refills, carrying your own refillable water bottle ensures you can sip water anytime during the game drive or stops.

5. Light Jacket or Sweater
While days are warm, Nakuru mornings can be crisp and cool. Carry a light jacket or sweater for the early hours, especially if traveling with young children or the elderly.

For the Fun and Memories

6. Camera or Smartphone
Lake Nakuru is rich with wildlife—from rhinos to flamingos—and scenic landscapes. You’ll want to capture every magical moment. Joe Photography will handle professional shots, but bring your smartphone or camera for your personal collection.

7. Power Bank
You don’t want your phone dying before the lion sighting! Bring a power bank to keep your gadgets charged throughout the trip.

8. Binoculars
Bird lovers and wildlife enthusiasts should definitely carry binoculars. They’re perfect for spotting far-off animals and birds like pelicans, eagles, and flamingos.

Snacks and Extras

9. Snacks and Light Bites
Although it’s a short trip, it’s a good idea to carry light snacks—especially if you’re traveling with kids. Energy bars, fruits, and dry snacks are great for on-the-go munching.

10. Picnic Mat (Optional)
If you like to sit and relax during stopovers, consider carrying a foldable picnic mat. It’s a small addition that can make your breaks more comfortable.

11. Extra Cash
There may be opportunities to purchase souvenirs, refreshments, or make stopovers at viewpoints and curio shops. Carry a bit of cash for convenience.

For Families with Kids

12. Activity Book or Notebook
Make the safari educational and fun by carrying a notebook or safari journal for your child. Encourage them to draw what they see or list animals they’ve spotted.

13. Small Backpack for Each Child
This helps kids feel responsible and excited about the journey. Let them carry their own snacks, water bottle, or coloring book.

Bonus Tip: Bring a Good Attitude 😊

Finally, pack your sense of adventure and curiosity. At Joe Photography and Safaris, we believe every trip is a chance to reconnect—with nature, family, and yourself. Lake Nakuru is the perfect escape from screens, city noise, and routine.
