Wildlife at Lake Nakuru

The park is best known for its flamingos. When conditions are right, hundreds of thousands of flamingos line the lake shore. The park also has significant populations of both black and white rhinos, lions, leopards, buffaloes, zebras, and giraffes. Nakuru is consistently one of Kenya's better parks for leopard sightings.
