Lake Baringo is at the threshold of Northern Kenya, and its freshwaters are an oasis in the arid plains.
The 129 sq km lake is well stocked with fish, and attracts many Pelicans, Cormorants and Fish Eagles. The Lake is also well populated with Crocodile and hippo. The lake itself is truly beautiful, surrounded by volcanic ranges that stretch as far as the eye can see.
At the lakes heart is Ol Kokwe Island, a stark rocky island that is home to Njemps villages. This is an excellent base for exploring the lake, with boat trips ideal for bird and hippo spotting.
Lake Bogoria is the heart of an arid landscape, in the shadow of the dramatic walls of the Siracho Range. The soda waters of the lake attract massive flocks of Flamingo, and the lake is often carpeted with pink.
The 32 sq km lake is still volcanically active, and the Western shore is lined with spouting geysers, spurting steam and bubbling geothermal pools. Fresh water springs at the lake edge attract an abundance of birds and wildlife. There are many Fish Eagles, which often prey on the local flamingos.
The shores are always lined with Gazelle, Zebra, Baboons and this is one of the best places to see Greater Kudu...not to mention the locals Livestock!
The lakes are approximately four hours drive from Nairobi and an ideal stop over on a safari to Northern Kenya.
