Africa – Lake Nakuru National Park – Part 4

Lake Nakuru National Park …….So many flamingos…….a friend of ours, Mike, used to live in Kenya and he told me he would come to this Park to photograph the birds. I can see why as it was quite something to see. We did see a variety of other birds but with not having my “big” lens, some of my photos are not the best; however, I am keeping them as I will likely never get the chance to see some of these birds again!

The first bunch of photos are at the water edge where the flamingos hung out and we were allowed to get out of the jeeps……..or were we? I hope I got all the names correct; I was told by our guides and/or researched so fingers crossed!

  • We were allowed to stop and get out of the jeeps for a bit at this spot to photograph the flamingos
  • Flamingos and some Pelicans flying high
  • African fish Eagle
  • Augur Buzzard
  • Egyptian Goose
  • Marabou Storks
  • Lilac Breasted Roller, National bird of Kenya
  • Long Crested Eagle
  • African Black Headed Oriole
  • Hada Ibis
  • Verreaux’s Eagle Owls, also known as the Giant Eagle Owl 
  • African Pied Wagtail
  • Sunset at Lake Nakuru

Some more animal photos……..

  • Female Waterbuck
  • Male Waterbuck
  • Waterbuck Family
  • Impala
  • I love this photo, just watching the lions staring at the city in the distance
  • We spotted these cubs in a culvert, they were left for safe keeping while their Moms hunted
  • Hyena
  • Three is not a crowd

That’s it for now! Next stop is the Masai Mara !

Later………

  4. That’s quite a collection from this day’s trip Susan. I was wowed from the beginning by the flamingos and pelicans, then more and more birds as you went along. Lots of unique birds to see then you got into the big critters. 🙂 The lion cubs were so sweet and the sleeping family made me smile as well. Those water buck are so much bigger than our White-tailed deer we see but the Impala is so dainty next to them. How did I know that was a hyena? Did it laugh for you?
