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!

Flamingos at Lake Nakuru

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!

Nairobi is such a young city, and nevertheless so interesting and magnetic for so many tourists. It has a magnificent secret charm which made all the tourists to declare mesmerized how good and comfortable they felt in Nairobi. Despite the major dangers abounding in Kenya: malaria; terorism, crime, lions, crocodile and buffalos. But Nairobi, lieing at 1660 meters above sea level has a too cool climate for the mosquitos. About the crime, it is easy to protect yourself watching your stuff and not going out late at night.

At 1890 here was only an endless swamp, and the city was build as a pit stop on the railway from Mombassa to Kampala(Uganda). After a few years, Nairobi became the most important station on this railway, and shortly after the capital of the english East Africa. When Kenya claimed its independence in 1956, Nairobi was the first choice as the capital of this country. Since then, it grew constantly, being today with its 4 millions inhabitants one of the most important african cities.
