See what rural education is like with a visit to a school in the Kenyan countryside. Afterwards, journey to Lake Nakuru National Park to witness the magical sight of a thousand pink flamingos in flight. Keep your eyes on the land as well, as the acacia forests fringing the lake is a habitat that attracts many mammals. Giraffes feed on the trees and waterbucks or rhinos might come down to the lake for water.
