Wanderlusts in Lake Nakuru

Cara and John go to Lake Nakuru in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya which is where the earth is pulling itself apart. In another million years or so East Africa may very well be an island like Madagascar. As the tectonic plates diverge the valley gets lower creating large shallow lakes. These soda lakes attract ridiculous numbers of birds like flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, storks, and herons to name a few. There are so many birds that lake seems to disappear and you could walk on the backs of the birds across the lake without getting wet. There are loads of buffalo, gazelle, rhino, baboons, and waterbuck to see as well as the occasional hyena or black backed jackal.

Hate to rain on your parade, but there are lions in Lake Nakuru. I was there about 2 months ago and we saw a pride of 7 lions sleeping below Baboon cliff. Other then that I loved the park and this reminded me of that experience:)

@111111111111777 Rain on my parade? What are you talking about?

[Cvillemac]

It is an oxpecker of some variety. I believe there are yellow-billed and red-billed oxpeckers in Africa. Does one of those sound right?

I can't seem to find the name of that bird climbing the buffalo. Any idea what its called?

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

I went to Masai Mara, two years in a row and never spotted a rhino, bummer. Good video guys :)

[Animelovah89]

Yes, that rings a bell. Thanks. I've heard that both of them are common in Africa.
