Lake
Nakuru is the world famous haunt of Flamingos, being a shallow alkaline
lake in Kenya's Rift valley, being 62 sq km (24 sq miles) in size, lying south
of Nakuru township. The National Park comprises the Lake and it's surrounds.
The landscape is picturesque, areas of sedge, marsh and grasslands alternating
with rocky cliffs and outcrops, stretches of yellow bared acacia woodland and
on the Eastern perimeter rocky hillsides covered with a forest of grotesque-looking
Euphorbia trees- all set against a background of hilly Broken Country. Although
the National park is primarily a bird sanctuary, the number of animals to be
encountered is not inconsiderable. A small herd of Hippopotamus lives among
the reeds in the Northeastern corner, where springs have created a series of
Hippo-pools. The Lake shore is a good place to observe Bohor Reedbuck; these
animals are often flushed from high grass or sedge in which they sleep during
the day. In recent years there has been a marked increase in their numbers and
those of the Defassa Waterbuck in the park. Bushbuck may be seen at the edge
of acacia woodland. Especially at dawn and towards dusk. Lake Nakuru is the
home of a the very rare Long-eared Leaf-nosed Bat, a tiny orange-buff species
with ears half the length of it's body. This mix of game animals and a brilliant
suffusion of at least a thousand types of wild bird make sit a breathtaking
and exciting place to visit.
