The reserve is the best game park in Kenya as it has the largest animal population of different species, with an extensive road and track network, which allows for close-range viewing and photography. July, August and September are some of the best months to visit the park, as it is full of migrating wildebeest, zebras and predators.

The park sits squarely on the floor of the Great Rift Valley and is surrounded by characteristic woody and bushy grassland, her sky-mirrored lake water extending to an expansive mass of semi-alkaline water, which is rich in green algae. The algae attracts a huge number of pink flamingos giving it the name birds paradise.
