The place
Why go.
Lake Nakuru lies in the Rift Valley, ringed by acacia woodland and escarpment. The lake is known for flamingos when water conditions suit them, and the surrounding park is a reliable place to look for rhino, Rothschild's giraffe and a wide range of birds. It is compact enough for a full day of game drives without long transfers.
