Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the most attractive sites in East and Central Africa due to its fame of being the home to beautiful flamingos and second largest sanctuary for the Rothschild species of giraffe, popularly known as the "Baringo giraffes" in the world.
But the recurrent heavy rains have posed a threat to the survival of the wildlife as water from Lake Nakuru is flooding part of the park located about 140 km northwest of Nairobi.
According to the park’s senior warden John Wambua, the flooding mainly uproots the acacia trees which the herbivorous animals in the park feed on.
"During the heavy rains, the water bank’s perimeter rise from the normal 42 square km to about 60 square km," Wambua said.'
When the park which lies in Nakuru County within the Rift Valley region floods, the park’s senior warden says, the flamingos which take the largest proportion of tourist attraction in the East African’s state premium park flee hence reducing their population.
