BEST TIME TO VISIT LAKE NAKURU FOR A CENTRAL KENYA SAFARI

The masses of pink flamingos at Lake Nakuru draws guests from around the world, but the population at the lake varies based on the alkalinity of the lake. Higher levels of precipitation decrease the alkalinity, and there is less algae for the birds. As a result, the largest number of flamingos may migrate to other neighboring soda lakes in Kenya such as Bogoria and Natron for a period of time. Your best bet is to plan your flamingo-watching tour of Lake Nakuru during the dry-hot season in January and February. There is, though, no warranty that you will see an enormous number of flamingos, as the majority of the birds feed and nest at the lake that offers the highest quantity of algae based on seasonal rain variations. Even with fewer flamingos present outside the nesting and feeding period, Nakuru Park offers many other types of wildlife that will ensure you have an exhilarating wilderness holiday with African Mecca.
