The lake is world famous as the location of the greatest bird spectacle on earth - myriads of fuschia pink flamingoes whose numbers are legion, often more than a million maybe two. The park now has more than 25 rhinos, one of the largest concentrations in the country, so the chances of spotting these survivors are good. There are also a number of Rothschild's giraffe, again translocated for safety from western Kenya beginning in 1977. Waterbuck are very common and both the Kenya species are found here. Among the predators are lion and leopard, the latter being seen much more frequently in recent times. Enjoy lunch at the Sarova Lionhill Lodge or Lake Nakuru Lodge or similar with ample time to relax, proceeding to Lake Naivasha for an optional boat ride across the freshwater lake, where you may spot hippos and a variety of bird species. Later in the afternoon, you will begin your journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the evening after a memorable day of wildlife.
