Lake Nakuru is a shallow alkaline lake on the edges of Nakuru town and
lies a distance of 160 kilometers from Nairobi. The lake is world famous
as home to millions of flamingoes. The number of flamingoes depends on
the water level which determines the quantity of algae on which the
birds feed. Flamingoes are known to migrate to other Rift Valley lakes
whenever the water level is low. The National Park surrounds the lake
and was gazetted to protect the colony of flamingoes as well as provide
sanctuary for endangered species such as the rhino. There are about 25

country. Predators are also residents to this park while Rothschild’s
