Lake Nkuru, a small (it varies from 5 to 30 sq km) shallow alkaline lake on the edge of the town of Nakuru lies about 160 km north of Nairobi. It can therefore be visited in a day tour from the capital or more likely as part of a circuit taking in the Masai Mara or Lake Baringo and east to Samburu. The lake is world famous as the location of the greatest bird spectacle on earth - myriads of fuschia pink flamingo whose numbers are legion, often more than a million maybe two. They feed on the abundant algae which thrives in the warm waters.Ofcourse, we got to see other animals inhabiting Lake Nkuru like zebra, giraffe, white rhino, lions etc.
