On the fourth and last day of my safari, I went to Lake Nakuru National Park. Nakuru is Kenya's 4th largest city. Lake Nakuru is best known for its millions of flamingoes... which have since migrated to another lake due to issues with water levels and algae levels.
Now, the park is known for having black and white rhinos as well as Rothschild's giraffes, which are different from the Maasai giraffes in my photos from the Mara. The patterns are different!

Lake Nakuru. Yes, those are trees in the water! So incredibly beautiful. |
In Nakuru we stayed in a budget hotel. I had signed up for the "budget camping" option for the safari (versus the "budget lodging") option so while I was impressed by how nice the tents in the Masai Mara were, I was not expecting to stay in a hotel with like, tiled floors and wi-fi (not that I had my laptop with me).
For the Nakuru leg of the trip, it was just me and two Austrian women. They shared a room. Which meant I got my own room!! I realize that I sound irrationally excited but I totally was.

This bed was the most wonderful thing I've slept on my whole time in Kenya. |
And that's it!
