Lake Bogoria National Reserve

Lake Bogoria National Reserve is located at the Rif Valley of Kenya. The Lake is alkaline hence supporting growth of Algae. With its ideal conditions it is home to one of the world’s largest populations of lesser flamingos. At times, the numbers go as high as 2 Million flamingos creating a blaze of pink as they flamingos go about their feeding at the shores of the lake.
The lake is geothermically active and there are geysers and hot springs in the western side of the lake with temperatures boiling to 98 degrees Celsius at times. One can swim in the hot waters that create a natural spa. The springs generate high concentrations of carbon dioxide hence the wild smell around the lake.
