Lake Nakuru -History
Nakuru means "Dust or Dusty Place" in the Masai language. Lake Nakuru National Park, close to
Nakuru
town, was established in 1961. It started off small, only
encompassing the famous lake and the surrounding mountainous
vicinity, but has since been extended to include a large part of the
savannahs.
