North of the city of Nakuru, Lake Bogoria is a soda lake, so when conditions are right, it attracts tens of thousands of flamingos. Unfortunately, with water rushing in recent years, the flamingos are a less common sight.

Lake Bogoria National Reserve is worth visiting, having a thermally active western side where you can see geysers and hot springs that bubble up out of the ground around the lake.

At Lake Boringo you can go on boat rides to see hippos, crocodiles and fish eagles. The park also has a rare herd of greater kudu as well as species including zebras, cheetahs, warthogs and hyenas living there.
