Lake Nakuru National Park<\/h1>\n

\"Maasai<\/p>\n

Lake Nakuru National Park<\/strong> is spectacular. It has been a blazing sea of deep pink flamingos \u2013 millions of them! Their intense fuchsias burst against Lake Nakuru\u2019s deep blue alkaline waters. Quite simply\u2026 it has until some few years ago been the most brilliant show of birdlife on earth.
\nDue to some progressive natural factors, the flamingo numbers have been reducing but the park itself remains stunning \u2013 one of Kenya\u2019s finest. Great rocky escarpments tower over acacia forest, and waterfalls, wooded hills, and euphorbia trees dot the lake.<\/p>\n

\nThe few quantities of flamingos are accompanied by other birdlife \u2013 pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles. The scene here is bountiful, busy, and full of color.
\nBut that\u2019s only the beginning of what this special park has to offer because the wildlife viewing here is easy and accessible. Lake Nakuru is known for hosting some endangered but beautiful species. You\u2019re sure to see rare Rothschild Giraffe along with the white rhinos, especially along the lakeshore.
\nThe park is also a sanctuary for one of Kenya\u2019s largest populations of black rhinos.
\nAnother aspect of the active wildlife viewing here is observing the park\u2019s zebra, hippo, olive baboon, vervet and colobus monkeys, waterbuck, and hyena. Other big safari wildlife to be on the lookout for includes lion, cheetah, leopard, and buffalo.
\nThe park is fenced to protect the rhino and giraffe, so it can\u2019t support elephants \u2013 the only large mammal you won\u2019t find here.
\nMoving through the park\u2019s dense acacia forest you\u2019ll likely come upon herds of impala and waterbuck. Also, in the woodlands, you may see large pythons hanging from the trees. This is the infamous African rock python that\u2019s capable of swallowing animals whole.
\nThose who have been to Lake Nakuru will attest to the park\u2019s beauty with its rich topography of hills, grasslands, and forests. There are several easily attained vantage points from which to enjoy wonderful views of the landscape and especially the lake with its undulating pink population of birdlife.
\nThough the park is not large in size, a visit to Lake Nakuru will be a very full and colorful safari experience.<\/p>\n
