A small park that is well worth the visit.

Lake Nakuru National Park is well worth the visit. While the flocks of flamingos are apparently not what they once were, there were plenty around and seeing that many birds was mesmerizing. We also saw big herds of Rothschild's giraffes (a very beautiful subspecies) as well as an abundance of zebras, buffalo, waterbucks, and gazelles. A few lions, jackals, and hyenas also made appearances. We only saw two hippos. According to our guides that was lucky so this site may be a bit mistaken to say hippos are common in the area. While I am not a hardcore birder, there is plenty for birders to enjoy. We saw guinea fowl, African fish eagles, marbou storks, Egyptian geese, a hooded vulture, lilac-breasted rollers, and plenty of others. If you go stay at the Lake Nakuru Lodge. Baboons roam the grounds, there is a waterhole near the restaurant that attracted warthogs and zebras, and there is a great view of the lake. Bring your binoculars!

Nakuru is more a park than bush. Incredibly beautiful though.

It is a beautiful place. Although it has been severely affected by the flooding, I find it very enlightening to witness the impacts of natural phenomena both in the wildlife and human lives.

Beautiful park, despite the lack of flamingos. Great for rhinos!
