The place
About Lake Nakuru
A soda lake ringed by acacia forest, famous for its flamingo flocks, both black and white rhino, and the Baboon Cliff viewpoint. Nakuru is one of the few places in Kenya where you're essentially guaranteed to see both rhino species in a single morning. The park is small (188 km²), making it an easy one-night stop between Naivasha and the Mara.
