The lake is getting deeper and bigger with every passing year, making it more salty and less desirable for flamingoes. Almost half of flamingoes have started going to other nearby lakes, trees in and around the lake are dying. The only positive thing is the population of Rhinos is growing and you can see them early in the morning from close range.

This park felt like jurassic park. Leopards, giraffes, lions, and rhinos in a surprisingly lush world

Lake Nakuru is beautiful, specifically because of how non-tourist focused it is. Most animals were seen from quite a distance. The park is a Rhino sanctuary, but don't expect these big fellows to cross the road in front of you. After a long day, we eventually found a group a couple of 100 meters away from us, which is magic on its own.
Seeing the animals actually be free; very few cars, roads and lots of freedom; is a great experience that one should not miss.

Mush more dry and brown when compared to Masai Mara. Large and obvious presence of rangers was good and bad. Narrow designated roads made animal viewing hard if crowded

Beautiful, especially for birds around the lake. But the lake appears to be drying up.

Being able to "feed" an eagle. Guide whistled and tossed a fish in the lake which the eagle swooped down and grabbed. We have a movie of it. To walk among Zebras and a mother and baby giraffe up close was special.
We went there to see the hippos, which we did, but the other opportunities made this a special day.

I did not have a lot of luck. It was very dry on my visit except right at the lake. I got good shots there, but ate dust most of the day.
