Nakuru County

Lake Nakuru

A Rift Valley soda lake renowned for flamingo flocks and successful rhino conservation.

Lake Nakuru National Park surrounds one of the Rift Valley's alkaline lakes, historically famous for vast flamingo populations that gather along its shores.

The park is also a protected sanctuary for both black and white rhino, and its compact size makes for a rewarding game drive within a relatively short radius.
