Lake Bongoria Lake Bongoria National Reserve
Lake Bogoria has been described
in the past as the jewel of the Rift Valley & by the words of Bishop Hannington on the first sight “ the
most beautiful view in Africa” Set in the acacia surroundings of the floor of the Great Rift Valley. The lake
is the heart of an arid landscape, in the shadow of the dramatic walls of the Siracho Range.
The soda waters of the lake Bongoria 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.
Getting Around - Access to Bogoria is a diversion
from the Nakuru- Baringo road, via Marigat.There is a very basic airstrip which charter flights can use. Getting to the lake
itself is very difficult without private transport but never worry we at Beyond Kenya will get you there.
Accommodation is mainly at the upmarket Lake Bongoria Spa resort 5 minute
away from the Lake Bongoria National Park.
