For decades, Nakuru town residents have witnessed thousands of visitors troop to Lake Nakuru National Park for leisure and pleasure.

Statistics from government audit documents and other reports on management of the park show more than 200,000 local and international tourists visit the park annually. They pay Sh480 million as gate collection, which ends up in coffers of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) that manages the park.
