Lake Nakuru's claim to fame is anchored on its
flamingo's and the over 400 species of birds found here.
The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the rift
valley. The sight of the at times millions of flamingos
is quite spectacular. From a distance the lake appears
ringed in pink. The Lake has also earned a reputation as

here.

zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs,

It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular
event of the natural world takes place. This is the

the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and
vultures
