Lake Nakuru was a spectacle of beauty six years ago.
With more than 1.4 million birds on its shores, the lake made its name globally as the home of flamingos.
In addition to the flamingos, more than 400 bird species were found at the lake, earning it the title “a bird watchers’ paradise”.
Lake Nakuru is pink again. From a desolate and forlorn water mass in recent years, flocks of flamingos can be seen from afar flocking the national park.
In the words of the American modernist artist Charley Harpert, the lake is once again the arena of “pure, passionate, pink pandemonium – a frenetic flamingle-mangle – a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers and flamingo lingo”.
