_Lake Nakuru

While famous for the millions of flamingos which lined the lake shore, it is important to note that due to current water levels and changes to the lake over the past few years that these flamingos are no longer present in Lake Nakuru National Park.

The flamingos have moved to various other lakes around the region, so if a reason for your travels is to view these birds, please contact us to discuss where to go.


Accessed via a relatively short, but scenic drive from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru National Park is a very popular destination, especially amongst birdlovers.

Lake Nakuru is one of the best locations in East Africa to view rhinos, and is home to both the black and white species.

Highlights of Lake Nakuru include:

Flamingos


As mentioned above, the flamingos are no longer present at Lake Nakuru National Park.   Due to recent heavy rains the lake has flooded, and is no longer conducive to the flamingo's habitat.

The flamingos have moved to lakes in the surrounding area, such as Lake Bogoria, and sometimes Lake Elementaita

Rhinos


Once you manage to draw your eyes away from the flamingos, turn your attention to the park's population of both black and white rhinos.

Although the black rhinos tend to stay well inside the more forested areas, white rhinos are easily found in the open, feeding alongside the lake shore.

The Scenery


The landscape of Lake Nakuru is truly picturesque, with the shallow lake being surrounded by green mountains.

A fantastic viewing area at the top of  Baboon Cliff provides you with panoramic views including the entire lake, most of the national park and mountain ranges, while also enabling you to spot a wide variety of animals from this vantage point.

Birdlife

Lake Nakuru National Park is home to over 400 species of other birds, allowing for some wonderful time spent with the binoculars.

The national park is the first African park to be branded as an Important Bird Area, and is home to some endangered species such as the Madagascar Pond-heron.   Other species include the near threatened Grey-crested Helmet-shrike and Martial Eagle as well as waterbirds such as the African Spoonbill, Great White Pelican and Grey-headed Gull.
