Lake Nakuru lies in Central Kenya, near the city of Nakuru. It is a Rift lake and its waters are lukewarm and have a certain level of alkalinity, making the algae growing very fast.  So fast that they could simply swallow and destroy the lake!

But fortunately this thing  doesn’t happen because of the many flamingos which are eating these algae. The flamingos at Nakuru Lake offers an incredible show. It is amazing, breathtaking, spectacular. It is actually the most spectacular bird show on our planet!

Unfortunately this magnific birds and their habitat are threatened by hunting and by pollution. In the 90’s the level of Lake Nakuru diminished considerably, but happily it has recovered. I hope you still can see Lake Nakuru in its genuine state, covered with so many pink flamingos!
