Lake Nakuru National Park is a protected area located in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. The park covers an area of 188 square kilometers and is known for its stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, and the vast numbers of flamingos that flock to its shores.
The park was established in 1961 and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. It is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including over 450 species of birds, such as pelicans, cormorants, and storks, as well as large mammals like lions, leopards, and buffalos. Additionally, the park is a sanctuary for endangered species like Rothschild’s giraffe and black rhino.
The main feature of the park is Lake Nakuru, a shallow alkaline lake that is famous for the millions of pink flamingos that inhabit its shores. However, the park also has a variety of habitats, including acacia woodlands, grasslands, and rocky cliffs, which provide a home for a wide range of flora and fauna.
