  • After a wonderful trip to Masai Mara we took a small detour to go to Lake Nakuru to see their famed white rhinos. We were not disappointed. Here is the endangered species with its young calf making it an extra special moment. I think sepia rendition works best for this beautiful animal. #wildlife photo contest

Nice hotel in Nakuru but select the right room!

The only hiccup during my stay was related to hotels.com. Merica has two classes of rooms- modern ones like the pictures, and older standard rooms that need some TLC. If you are looking for the former, make sure to book the higher class of room. If you don’t mind the latter, they are clean and large.

There is no parking. We were forced to look for unsafe street parking 200 meters from The hotel There is an air of unprofessional ethics

Nice hotel

Nice hotel and centrally located. Staff very helpful. I had a room facing the street and as the windows are not very insulated, it was a bit noisy at times. The hot water in the shower was not always available, but OK in the morning. Will stay there again
