Lake Nakuru National Park features a lot of birds species, many from Europe and East Asia.
The park includes a large savanna area to the south. A shallow blue-green alkaline lake
famous for its flocks of pink lesser and greater flamingoes. The tilapia grahami fish has been
introduced to provide food for the of big flocks pelicans who also call Lake Nakuru home.
The blue-green color is because of the presence of blue-green algae called spirulinga. The
level of the lake goes up and down with the amount of rainfall and the color is dependent on
the conditions for the growth of algae. There have been up to two million flamingoes on the
lake at one time. When disturbed the birds lift gracefully into the air in a solid moving pink
carpet.
Lake Nakuru has proven to be an excellent and safe sight for the rare Rothschild giraffe and
black and White rhino. It is an excellent spot also to photograph the
hippo,buffalo,zebra,Thomson gazelle, reedbuck and defassa waterbuck. Nowadays the lake
forms a popular day trip from Nairobi due to its proximity to the capital.
