Lake Nakuru, located in central Kenya within the Great Rift Valley, is a renowned soda lake surrounded by lush vegetation and expansive grasslands. The iconic sight of thousands of flamingos feeding in the shallows or taking off in unison is a hallmark of the area. Beyond the flamingos, the lake and its surroundings are home to over 400 species of birds. The adjacent Lake Nakuru National Park is a sanctuary for Rothschild giraffes, black and white rhinos, and a variety of plains game. The park also features waterfalls, dense forests, and scenic views, making it a prime destination for wildlife enthusiasts.
