Buffalos only appear so calm and peaceful but they are actually considered one of the most dangerous animals! For good reason they are included in the list of Big 5 Game, every safari participant’s dream to spot all 5 of them. Lake Nakuru north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi is abundant with animals, especially beautiful to watch in the early morning hours when the light is still soft and the air clear. . . . . . . #Kenya #lakenakuru #nakuru #safari #nationalpark #greatriftvalley #adventure #nakurusafari #africanamazing #igkenya #mthrworld #disciveringke #tembeakenya #kenyasafari #discoverkenya #gokenya #loves_kenya #kenyasafari #safarikenya #lakenakurunationalpark #buffalo #waterbuffalo #bns_animals #bns_nature #bns_landscape #folkgood #folkgreen #loves_safari #folkscenery #loves_africa
