The numbers have however dwindled in recent years and migrated to Lake Bogoria. That notwithstanding the park boasts of a prolific bird life with over 450 bird species having been recorded. In addition, to the African wild dog, buffalos, zebras, elands, lions among other animals, the park is a sanctuary for the white Rhino.
