Lake Nakuru National Park is located in the Rift Valley,1750 metres above sea level. Lake Nakuru is known as an ornithological paradise by birdwatchers because the lake is world famous as the location of the greatest bird-spectacle on earth, which boasts anywhere between one and two million lesser and greater pink flamingos that feed on the abundant algae thriving in the lake's warm waters. It is one of the few parks that has been specifically established for the protection of birds, specifically flamingos. More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here. You will drive through the floor of the Great Rift Valley from Nairobi, while stopping on the way for curios and to admire and marvel at the breathtaking views of the escarpment along the way. Arrive at Lake Nakuru National Park in time for a mid-morning game drive. Have picnic lunch at leisure. As you find your way out of the park, have another game drive and embark on your way to Nairobi.
