On the floor of the Rift Valley, this is a spectacular National Park. It has been a blazing sea of deep pink flamingos which were in – millions until some few years ago when the numbers started diminishing. However mid-2020, the birds have started coming back bringing back the glory of the birdlife.
The park is one of the rhino sanctuary with Kenya’s largest populations of black rhino. On your game drive, you will come across zebra, hippo, olive baboon, vervet and colobus monkeys, waterbuck and hyena. You will see four of the big five which are lion, cheetah, leopard and buffalo. The park is fenced and cannot support elephants. On a luck day through the park’s dense acacia forest you are likely to come across grazing herds of impala and waterbuck. Large pythons hanging from the trees, African rock python capable of swallowing animals whole have been spotted here too.
