A short safari to Lake Nakuru National Park, a fenced sanctuary protecting both black and white rhino, historically known for large flamingo flocks along its alkaline lake shore.
Lake Nakuru is one of the few fenced parks in Kenya, which allows it to protect a significant rhino population that would otherwise be vulnerable to poaching.

The fence allows Kenya Wildlife Service to protect resident black and white rhino from poaching.
Is this a good short add-on?
Yes, its proximity to Nairobi and the Rift Valley makes it an easy 2-day addition to a longer Kenya itinerary.
