False

The image shared is of Luanda Bay in Angola, not Nakuru County in Kenya.

Luanda Bay is a body of water in front of the city of Luanda, Angola’s capital. Several historical monuments, such as the Banco de Angola Building and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré, are located in front of the bay.

The bay, whose waters are protected by the island of Luanda, is where Paulo Dias de Novais founded the city of Luanda in 1575/1576.
