Lake Nakuru is situated approximately 5755 feet above sea level. It lies south of Nakuru town in the Rift Valley of Kenya and is protected by Lake Nakuru National Park. The lake's abundance of algae attracts a vast quantity of flamingos that famously line the shore.
Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in Kenya outside the town of Naivasha in Nakuru County which lies approximately 96km north west of Nairobi. The name derives from the local Maasai name Nai'posha, meaning "rough water" because of the sudden storms which can arise.
