Rift Valley Lakes

Lake Nakuru National Park: This fenced park provides sanctuary to one of the largest populations of rhinos in Kenya, plus Rothschild's giraffes, leopards and lions. The alkaline lake often attracts concentrations of flamingoes, pelicans, cormorants and terns.

Lake Naivasha: Over 450 species of birds have been recorded in and around this freshwater lake with the highest concentrations between October and March, when migrant birds from Europe are resident.

Lake Elementaita: A good site for flamingoes and pelicans and an estimated 300 bird species.
