Overview
Lake Bogoria is a saline, is one of the lesser celebrated of the Rift Valley lakes but it provides as much beauty and inspiration, an alkaline lake that lies in a volcanic region in a half-graben basin south of Lake Baringo, Kenya.
Description
Lake Bogoria is a saline, alkaline lake and lies just south of Lake Baringo. With its ideal conditions, it is home to one of the world's largest populations of lesser flamingoes. At times the number of flamingoes feeding in the lake may be as many as two million - creating a wonderful undulating blaze of pink as the flamingoes go about their feeding. This scene of brilliant pink flamingoes by the millions is only found in the Rift Valley Lakes of Kenya, and so is not replicated anywhere else in the world, due to the very specific environment needed by the birds.
Aside from the flamingoes, there are many other birds and animals to see at Lake Bogoria such as buffalo, zebra, baboon, warthog, caracal, spotted hyena, impala, and dik-dik.
