Kenya’s Flamingo-Colored Lakeside Sanctuary
Nestled in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru shimmers like a blue mirror fringed with pink — a surreal landscape created by thousands of flamingos feeding in its alkaline waters. Surrounding this lake is a compact but wildlife-rich park, known for its rhino sanctuary and populations of Rothschild’s giraffes, lions, and baboons.
