LAKE NAKURU NATIONAL PARK
The first rhino sanctuary in Kenya, this small but beautiful park lies 8 kms south of Nakuru covering an area of 200 sq kms. The park is unquestionably "the greatest ornithological spectacle on earth.", serving as the congregation point for a roseatte mass of some 100,000 to 2 million flamingos and over 450 other species of birds - a spectacle of immense beauty. Other wildlife to be seen in the park are waterbuck, reedbuck, zebra, impala, Gazelle, lion, leopard, buffalo, hippo, and rhino, especially in the olive tree forest to the south west. Located in the Rift Valley, 1750 meters above sea level, in Central Kenya, 140 km. north-west of Nairobi. Only two hours leisurely drive from Nairobi, through some of the most exciting scenery to be seen anywhere in Africa. The 156 Km Nairobi-Nakuru road gives the visitor an unrivalled view of the majestic Great Rift Valley, winding through a series of Lakes and forested uplands all the way to the bustling market town of Nakuru. |
