Situated in the Great African Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru is one of the most picturesque lakes in Africa. Also included in the list of world heritage sites, the Nakuru is world-famous as the home to millions of pinkish flamingos, described as "the most fabulous bird spectacle in the world," by the bird lovers. Thousands of colorful flamingos, flying along its shores in a massive flock, provide an unforgettable sight to visitors. The birds move back and forth, and occasionally taking to flight, filling the sky over the lake with colors. Truly an ornithologist paradise, the lake is home to over 495 species of exotic birds. Lake Nakuru was declared a national park in 1961 and it now covers an area of over 200 sq km.
Lake Nakuru is not all about colorful flamingos, but the region adjoining it has lush forest covers, thrilling cliffs and enchanting waterfalls, offering an unforgettable experience to visitors. Besides its rich and diverse avian population, Lake Nakuru National Park also shelters a sizable population of Leopards, Lions, Rothschild's Giraffes, Buffalos, Black Rhinos, Zebras, Impalas, Hippos, Waterbucks and Ostriches. The Lake Nakuru National Park is also known for its extraordinarily large Pythons, which can often be seen crossing the roads or dangling from trees. Lake Nakuru is also regarded as the best place to track Leopards and Lions in Kenya
