Lake Nakuru

Situated in the heart of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru National Park is world famous for the flocks of lesser Flamingoes that color its shores vivid pink. Surrounded by rich areas of grassland, euphorbia and acacia forests, rocky cliffs, and a myriad of animal and bird species, there is little doubt why Lake Nakuru National Park rivals Amboseli as Kenya's second most visited National Park- after the Masai Mara. Although the Flamingo population fluctuates as it migrates up and down the Rift Valley to breed, there are 400 other recorded species of birds on the shores of the Lake and in the surrounding park making it second only to Lake Baringo as the most prolific ornithological site in Kenya.
