Crocodiles and hippos find their place in the Mara River. Lake Nakuru national Park is in the Great Rift Valley. The highly endangered Black Rhino Sanctuary has its abode here. Possible sightings of pink flamingo during certain times of the year, colobus monkeys, water bucks and Zebras guarantee a once in a lifetime experience! The park is a natural haven for bird life and attracts over 450 species of birds. Amboseli National Park: Set against the magnificent backdrop of Africa's highest mountain, the glittering park enjoys a uniquely privileged position at the heart of Kenyan tourism. It has a rapturous vegetation zone that include riverine, dustbowls, forests, bush & scrub and swamps. These provide homes to unique wildlife including the African elephants that are famous for holding out with huge tusks. Big predators also abound and various herbivores.
