Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru derives its name from the Masai word “Enakuro” which means cloud of dust. It is home to many herbivores including Rothschild’s giraffe, buffalo, hippo, gazelle and nearly 55 mammals including lions, leopards, spotted hyenas, rock hyraxes and reedbuck. Lake Nakuru National Park is famous for hosting both white and black rhinoceros, reintroduced after many years of absence. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Lake Nakuru is a RAMSAR site. It is regarded to as the birders’ paradise due to the over 400 species spotted in the area and some of the rare birds like the African Fish Eagle, Slender-billed greenbul, Long-Tailed widowbird, Rufous Throated Wryneck, Montane white eye, Red Capped lark, Nothern Puffback, Rupells robin-chat, shining sunbird and many more can be sighted here.
