Lake Nakuru

After spending a couple days in northern Kenya, we headed southwest to Lake Nakuru National Park. The weather was cool and mild, making for a wonderful day of animal watching. It was the first time in Africa where we were a little chilly.

Our luck just got better!
We got to see a leopard in the process of a hunt. Unfortunately, once the leopard went in for the kill, the camera clicks distracted the leopard and allowed for the gazelle to become aware of the danger.

What Lake Nakuru is known for...
The layer of pink on top of the lake can be seen miles away.

Lake Nakuru is home to hundreds of flamingos
