Summary

COI synopsis: The unique Lake Nakuru national park in Kenya attracts thousands of tourists a year, and a developing town is growing up on its shores. Our film shows the astonishing richness of wild life which the lake supports and - the beginnings of pollution in the water, not serious so far but one of the penalties of progress everywhere.

Researcher Comments

Includes an extract from the Anglian Television programme "Nakuru" filmed by Lucinda Buxton, which was transmitted in September 1972.
