LAKE NAKURU SAFARI
One of the Great Rift Valley's most famous soda lakes, Lake Nakuru offers visitors the chance to witness one of the world's most spectacular wildlife sights: flamboyant pink flamingos as far as the eye can see.
When conditions are right, between one and two million lesser and greater flamingos feed around the shores of the shallow lake, which together with tens of thousands of other water birds within a species list of around 400 birds, make Lake Nakuru a genuine ornithologist's paradise.
Game viewing is also good. Declared a national park in 1961, Lake Nakuru covers an area of some 188 km² and its diverse habitats are home to warthog, baboon, waterbuck and large numbers of impala. Slightly shyer residents include buffalo, Rothschild's giraffe, eland, the occasional leopard and both black and white rhino. A herd of hippo have their territory in the northern part of the lake.
Usually built into a longer Kenya safari itinerary, Lake Nakuru National Park is often combined with the other Great Rift Valley lakes - Lake Naivasha for example - and other conservation areas such as the nearby Aberdare National Park or the Masai Mara. Visitors should note however that there are times when the lake conditions change and the flamingos move on to other soda lakes including Amboseli swamp.
The Flamingo Hill Camp is situated within the famous Lake Nakuru National Park, which lies within the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. Approximately 30 minutes by air or 2 hours by road from Nairobi. Nestled between the “honeymoon hills”, and set in beautifully landscaped grounds with natural foliage and a variety of indigenous African plants and flowers, Flamingo Hill Camp provides superb, tented accommodation.

Perched at the top of a 100 metre high rock face sits Lake Nakuru’s newest and smartest addition – The Cliff – a 10 room luxury camp opened in June 2018. While ‘luxury camp’ is the simplest description, in reality The Cliff located inside the park defies conventional labels, being a combination of safari lodge, tented camp and boutique hotel, constructed and furnished in a contemporary European style.
