Lake Nakuru National Park, located in central Kenya’s Rift Valley, is a renowned wildlife sanctuary celebrated for its stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity. Covering approximately 188 square kilometers, this small yet captivating park is centered around the shallow, alkaline Lake Nakuru, one of the Rift Valley's soda lakes, famous for attracting large flocks of flamingos. When conditions are right, the lake’s shores transform into a dazzling pink spectacle as thousands of flamingos gather to feed on the algae, creating one of nature's most awe-inspiring scenes. Although flamingo numbers fluctuate depending on water levels and food availability, the park remains a key site for these birds, along with other waterfowl and migratory species.

You will then undertake a safari in Lake Nakuru National Park in the afternoon.
