6 Days Camping Safari to Masai Mara National Park and
the bird paradises of Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria
Lake Baringo
Lake Baringo is at the threshold of Northern Kenya, and
its freshwaters are an oasis in the arid plains.
This is the traditional home of the Njemps tribe, a
unique people who are the only pastoral, cattle herding,
tribe who also fish. Among other pastoral tribes such as
the Maasai, eating fish is a taboo.
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.
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 and a well
appointed camp. This is an excellent base for exploring
the lake, with boat trips ideal for bird and hippo
spotting.
Baringo is an ideal stopover on a safari to Northern
Kenya.
Lake Bogoria
At the beginning of Kenya’s great Northern Wilderness
lies Lake Bogoria.
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 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...
