Millions of birds paint the shores of the lake in a pink and seeing them rise into the sky in their thousands is a sight you will never forget. The number of flamingos at the lake varies depending on the water levels and salt concentration. Another highlight of this national park are the black and white rhinos which consider Nakuru as home. You can also spot large herds of buffaloes, water bucks, hippos, and many types of gazelles in the park. The forest of yellow fever trees at the lakeside offers shade, making it the ideal hunting grounds for leopards.

DAY 5: MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE FULL DAY
Extensive game drives through the amazing Masai Mara are the order of the day. Scouting for wildlife in the wide savannah, you will also drive to the Mara River. The Masai Mara is known for the Great Migration: millions of wildebeest and zebras follow the rains from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the savannah of the Masai Mara in Kenya, in search of greener pastures. These large herds of animals also attract many predators. Lions, leopards, cheetah, and hyenas lurk in the shadows, waiting for their next meal. The “greatest show on earth”, as the Great Migration is also known as, reaches its peak between July and September, when wildebeests and zebras crossing the crocodile infested Mara River. Crossing the river is a matter of life or death for the animals and a great spectacle of nature to observe. However, many animals stay in the Masai Mara year-round which makes the game reserve an attractive safari destination any month of the year.
