Lake Nakuru

One of the lakes in the Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru is located 1,754 meters above sea level. It is protected by Lake Nakuru National Park and is located in Kenya's rift valley to the south of Nakuru. The lake's profusion of algae used to draw a large number of flamingos, who were known to line the coast. Along with warthogs, baboons, and other large mammals, other birds and large mammals also thrive there. Additionally, southern white rhinos and eastern black rhinos have been introduced.

Because of the birds and other wonderful aspects of the park, Lake Nakuru National Park has become one of the most frequently visited parks in Kenya over the years. Visitors to Lake Nakuru Park can enjoy a variety of activities, including bird watching, game viewing, camping, picnicking, and more on the park's stunning rocky vantage points.

While most visitors to Lake Nakuru do so as part of an organized safari that typically also covers neighboring parks, there are campgrounds on the lake's beaches if you want to travel independently. Numerous other bird species, including the African fish eagle, Goliath heron, hamerkop, pied kingfisher, and Verreaux's eagle among others of its kind, live in the lake and the area around it in addition to flamingos.
