With their almost mystical appearance, the tranquil rift valley lakes of Nakuru, Naivasha, Baringo and Elementaita are home to large flocks of pink-feathered flamingo. In recent years changing water levels have affected the populations of algae that the flamingos feed on, so they move between the lakes seeking the best places to feed.
While Nakuru is situated in a national park, private conservancies around the other lakes offer the freedom to explore different safari experiences, like full-day nature walks and bush dinners, a round of golf on a quirky 9-hole ‘bush course’ or even playing hide-and-seek with young anti-poaching bloodhounds!
