Lake Nakuru National Park

Park Overview:

Lake Nakuru National park : close to Nakuru town, the park was established in 1961 and is arguably the most renowned among Kenya’s Rift Valley lakes and one of the best known African parks in the entire world. It is famous for its huge flocks of flamingos that enjoy the alkaline waters of this shallow soda lake. Other than a million flamingos and many more species of birds, the park is also home to white rhino, warthog, giraffe, hippo, ostrich, and lion. The park covers the lake and a land strip around the northern, eastern and western shores, whereas southward the grounds extend farther to Makalia Falls, which define the south limit. The shores are surrounded by swamps that during the driest seasons disappear to give rise to huge white salt crusts. The riverine forest opens up southward in a bush and acacia tree savanna. The park can be visited year around and takes 3 hours’ drive from Nairobi.
