Nakuru National Park
	• 188 sq km • about 1800 m (sea level) • shallow soda Rift Valley lake • over a million flamingo • Rhino sanctuary, • tree climbing lions • numerous water bird species

The Lake Nakuru National Park was created in 1961 and covers an area of 200 sq km. It is probably the world’s biggest ornithological spectacle with millions of flamingoes along the shallow shoreline. Since the park covers grassland and forests, plenty of plains game, lions and rhinos can be seen. The forest area is the ideal habitat for baboons and giant warthogs. On the cliffs, hyrax and birds of prey are found.

The park provides a sanctuary for endangered wildlife such as the white and black Rhino. Today more than 25 Rhinos inhabit the park, one of the largest concentrations in the country. In another effort to protect endangered wildlife the Rothschild Giraffe has been translocated to the park. Besides two lodges, there are self-catering bandas and campsites.
