Lake Nakuru is world famous sanctuary noted for its huge concentration of flamingos and is often referred to as "The Pink Lake". This lake offers one of the world's most spectacular wildlife sights, that of brilliant pink flamingos as far as the eye can see.
When conditions are right, between one and two million lesser and greater flamingos feed around the shores of the shallow soda lake, together with tens of thousands of other birds. The best place to view the birds is from Baboon Cliff, where you can look out over the dazzling fringe of pink around the lake's shores. Lake Nakuru was declared a national park in 1961 and it now covers an area of some 200 kmē. Here you will also see waterbucks and large numbers of impala.

This Game reserve is rich in game, and its rolling landscapes, the scenic grasslands and acacia savannah have frequently been captured on film, with "Out of Africa" being the most famous.
The reserve borders Tanzania and the two countries share the vast Serengeti plains, with wildlife free to roam between Kenya and Tanzania in search of food. The concentration of game in the Mara during the mass migration is mind blowing, and this is one of the few areas where you are likely to see the big five - Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino, Lion and Leopard. This is also a good place to see cheetah, sitting majestically on a termite mound watching the world.
