Kenya, Lake Nakuru National Park

 

Kenya: Lake Nakuru National Park (4th of 8 Posts)

Famed from the "Out of Africa" scenes and really worth being a global birding hotspot, there is no hype in praising Nakuru. We spent a seven hour birding trip starting late at about 10:30 (entering from Nderit Gate, not the main gate). So we saw only the southern part of the park. 

My personal highlights: 

-View from the south end of the lake - full of pelicans and waders and big game 

-Makalia Falls

-Baboons

-Some rare birds (Secretary Bird, etc) 

But we did not find the Ground Hornbills....
