Though modest in size, Lake Nakuru National Park is a biodiversity hotspot and one of Kenya’s most treasured wildlife havens. Established in 1968, the park is world-renowned for the spectacle of thousands—sometimes millions—of flamingos that blanket the lake’s shores, creating a surreal pink hue across its surface.

The best panoramic views of this natural wonder can be enjoyed from Baboon Cliff, offering stunning photo opportunities. Surrounding the lake is a protected area of 188 km², fully fenced to serve as a sanctuary for endangered species including the Rothschild’s giraffe, black rhino, and white rhino.

Lake Nakuru is a must-visit destination for bird lovers, conservation enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a unique safari experience in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
