Wanderlusts in Lake Nakuru

Cara and John go to Lake Nakuru in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya which is where the earth is pulling itself apart. In another million years or so East Africa may very well be an island like Madagascar. As the tectonic plates diverge the valley gets lower creating large shallow lakes. These soda lakes attract ridiculous numbers of birds like flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, storks, and herons to name a few. There are so many birds that lake seems to disappear and you could walk on the backs of the birds across the lake without getting wet. There are loads of buffalo, gazelle, rhino, baboons, and waterbuck to see as well as the occasional hyena or black backed jackal.
