Lake Nakuru National Park

Introduction

The Lake Nakuru National Park, situated in the the Great Rift Valley, was created in 1968 to protect the huge flocks of greater and lesser flamingo that breed and nest at the edge of Lake Nakuru, and which give the lake it’s characteristic pink rim.

Flamingos The Park covers 188 km² of land - from lake water, woodland, bush grassland, to rocky ridges. The Park is about 100 km north of Nairobi, and the good tarmac road means that the journey time from the capital to here is less than 3 hours – making this ideal for either a long day safari or an overnight stop over.

As well as literally thousands and thousands of flamingos, which have resulted in the Park being know for "the greatest bird spectacle on earth", the Park is also home to over 400 other species of birds, including African fish eagles, pelicans, herons, and kingfishers.

Rhino It is also one of the few places to see the endangered black rhino alongside the white rhino, and today the Park home to one of the largest concentrations of rhinoceros in the entire country.

Other wildlife that can be spotted includes Rothschild’s giraffe, Cape buffalo, waterbuck, lion, leopard, zebra, gazelle, impala, eland, and the hyrax.

The Park also has large sized pythons, who mainly inhabit the dense woodlands, but can often be seen crossing the roads or dangling from trees.
