DAY BY DAY
If there is one word that describes Lake Nakuru National Park, it’s variety. Variety in its landforms – rocky escarpments, thick acacia forests, waterfalls and, of course, the lake itself. And in what other park can you spot such diverse wildlife like lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and… few flamingos?
This is a beautiful park known for its favourite animal spotting viewpoints like Lion Hill and Out of Africa where you may also see baboon, waterbuck, cheetah, rare endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and birds – over 400 species.
We’ll take a game viewing  safari on Lake Nakuru past hippos, storks, pelicans and sometimes hordes of brilliant pink flamingos feeding on the algae in the saline lake.
Another special feature of the park you won’t want to miss is the Rhino Sanctuary. The park hosts more than 25 endangered black rhinos and about 70 white rhinos.  Your morning here will be filled with an engaging procession of wildlife.
The Park has Kenya’s largest population of rhinos. The surface of the Lake Nakuru occupies about a third of the park. It supports a dense bloom of the blue-green Cyanophyte Spirulina platensis from which it derives its colour and is a food source for flamingos.
