Lake Nakuru National Park is one of East Africa’s most rewarding short safaris. The soda lake is famous for its enormous flocks of lesser and greater flamingos that turn its shores a brilliant shade of pink — a truly surreal and beautiful sight.
Beyond the flamingos, the park is a sanctuary for both black and white rhino, making it one of the best places in Kenya to see these endangered giants up close. Lion, leopard, waterbuck, and Rothschild giraffe — one of the world’s most endangered subspecies — also roam freely here.
