Overview

Nestled just a few hours from Nairobi, Lake Nakuru National Park beckons nature enthusiasts. This haven for birdwatchers is renowned for the awe-inspiring spectacle of millions of pink flamingos painting the shores a vibrant hue. Beyond this breathtaking display, over 450 other bird species call Nakuru home, promising an unforgettable birding experience including Pelicans, African Cuckoo, Cape Teal, Brimstone Canary, Hottentot Teal, Red-billed Teal, Dusky Nightjar, Montane Nightjar, Pearl-spotted Owlet, Common Greenshank and others.

The park’s diverse landscapes further enhance its appeal. Dramatic views unfold across the Rift Valley escarpment, while expansive Lake Nakuru reflects the vibrant African sky. Dotted savannas, adorned with Euphorbia trees, complete this picturesque scene.

But Nakuru isn’t just a birder’s paradise. Endangered rhinos, both white and black, find sanctuary here, alongside the graceful Rothschild’s giraffe. Keep your eyes peeled for lions, leopards, playful impalas, and a variety of antelopes, bushbucks, and even baboons.
