Lake Nakuru National Park, is a birdlife heaven, on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Due to some progressive natural factors like increasing water levels, the flamingo numbers have been reducing but the park itself remains stunning – one of Kenya’s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, waterfalls, wooded hills, and euphorbia trees dot the lake.

The few quantity of flamingos is accompanied by other birdlife – pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy, and full of color. But that’s only the beginning of what this special park has to offer because the wildlife viewing here is easy and accessible.

Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. You’re sure to see rare Rothschild’s giraffe along with white rhinos, especially along the lakeshore. The park is also a sanctuary for one of Kenya’s largest populations of black rhinos.
