series of clear pools.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru’s claim to fame is anchored on its flamingo’s and the over 400 species of birds found here (ornithological paradise). The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the rift valley. The sight of the at times millions of flamingos is quite spectacular. From a distance the lake appears ringed in pink.

Lake Bogoria National Park

This small equatorial lake has geysers, and hot springs. They are relatively few vantage points from which you can see it but its topaz and green waters are strikingly beautiful. Along Lake Bogoria’s western shore is a bed of hot springs and blowholes, which infrequently erupt two and a half to three meters (8 to 10 ft) into the air, and constantly emit a pungent sulfur smell. These geothermal phenomena are intriguing but also dangerously hot where eggs get ready to eat in 3 minutes
