Nakuru is Kenya's fourth largest town but most tourists only spend a short time before traveling to nearby Lake Nakuru National Park, Menengai Crater and Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site. The town has a very relaxed atmosphere with a busy local market where locally grown Kenyan coffee beans can be purchased.
Menengai Crater is a dormant volcano that
provides views of the crater and the surrounding countryside.
Lake Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes. Thousands of flamingos nest along the shores of Lake Nakuru.
Hyrax Hill Prehistoric Site, discovered in 1926, is considered a major Neolithic and Iron Age settlement.
