Lake Nakuru National Park is a haven for wildlife and birds in Kenya. It is an all-year park worth every minute of your visit. The park, surrounded by lush vegetation on the floor of Rift Valley has one of the most enviable ecological diversity with a lake, escarpment, a park, waterfall and breathtaking landscape.
The park is symbolic with pink flamingos – there are other bird species including pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostriches, storks as well as herons and eagles.

The Flamingo Hill, located below the acacia forest at the park is a harbour for tree-climbing lions as well as leopards. Endangered Rothschild’s Giraffe, zebras, antelopes, cheetahs, buffalos, impala, hyena, colobus monkeys, waterbucks call this part of Lake Nakuru Water Park home.
Due to the rocky nature of the woodlands, African Rock Pythons are seen hanging in the trees and if you are lucky enough, you could catch them in action, strangling and swallowing their prey.
Besides the wildlife spectacle, hiking safaris are also available.
