Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park is a captivating destination nestled in the Great Rift Valley, famous for Lake Nakuru itself, a shallow alkaline lake that historically attracted vast flocks of flamingos, often creating a stunning pink shoreline. While the flamingo population has fluctuated due to changes in water levels, the park remains a significant birding paradise, hosting hundreds of other bird species. Beyond the avian attractions, Lake Nakuru National Park is a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, including both black and white rhinos, Rothschild’s giraffes, lions, leopards, and various antelope species, offering excellent game viewing opportunities. Other touristic activities around Nakuru include exploring the Menengai Crater, a massive extinct volcano with panoramic views, visiting the Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site and Museum for archaeological insights, and enjoying the scenic beauty and boat rides at nearby Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park.
