Home to huge flocks of flamingos and tons of other wildlife, this lake is one of particular beauty. Just over 150 km from Nairobi, the Lake Nakuru is said to have over 1 million flamingos. The sheer numbers make the lake appear to have a bright, pink shoreline. This lake is one of great interest to scientists, birdwatchers and tourists alike. It is often included on Kenyan safari tours.

Ahhh, SO gorgeous!!! Reminds me of the Uyunni deserts in Bolivia. Gosh, I want to go to Kenya sooo badly now.
I love seeing flamingos in the wild! We have seen them in Chile, but would love to see them in Africa also! Great photos!
Beautiful Photos! I have never seen flamigoes in the wild..would love to one day!
I’ve read somewhere they go pink from the algae they eat. Definitely want to see them up close!
