Boasting some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery made up of beautiful glassy lakes teeming with birdlife, towering volcanic outcrops, and grassy, wind-swept plains, Kenya’s lake system on the floor of The Great Rift Valley provides an exceptional experience of nature.
From Lake Turkana in the far north, which sits in a land more reminiscent of the moon than of planet earth and is home to Africa's biggest population of Nile Crocodiles, to the interlinked lakes of Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Lake Elementaita in the south, that attract more than four million flamingos every year, this is nature personified.
The steep escarpment of the Rift Valley drops down into the valley where hot springs and geysers create a network of streams and rivers that flow into the lakes.Millions of birds flock to the shallow waters - Lake Elementaita appears pink due to the propensity of flamingos – while the grassy plains and shores of the lakes are rich with wildlife, including black rhino, Rothschild's giraffe, greater kudu, lion, cheetah, and wild dogs.
