Lakes that host flamingos

International tourists flock to watch mesmerizing presence of the birds in their natural habitat in Kenyan waters

Thousands of flamingos gathered on the shorelines, squawking and croaking, while others flying or wading in the shallow waters of Kenya's alkaline lakes along the Great Rift Valley created a vibrant pink spectacle — a scene that every bird-watcher shouldn't miss.

It's not only a wonderful unwinding experience for holidaymakers but also breathtaking to watch the birds' vibrant pink plumage, long legs and graceful movements as well as their gregarious habits.

As you get too close to the flamingos at the viewpoints, they protectively fly away, but if you stay a bit, you will watch them come back after a few minutes, and you are able to capture a memorable photo or a short video of the mesmerizing birds.
