Lake Nakuru National Park Lake Nakuru National Park, in Central Kenya, is famous for its rhinos, endangered Rothchild Giraffe, Out of Africa Viewpoint, flocks of pink flamingos (the numbers recently reduced due to water levels). More than 450 species of birds have been recorded here, as well as a rich diversity of other wildlife. Lions, leopards, warthogs, waterbucks, pythons, and white rhinos are just some of the animals you might see, and the landscapes range from sweeping grasslands bordering the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland. The park also protects the largest euphorbia candelabrum forest in Africa. These tall, branching succulents are endemic to the region and provide an interesting textural element to the arid landscapes.
