Lake Bogoria, Kenya
|
|
|
J.W. Gregory, who traveled on foot from
Mombasa
Island over 100 years ago and formulated his theory of the creation of the Rift Valley, first set eyes on Lake Bogoria in 1892 and described the scene as "the most beautiful view in Africa". The late Leslie Brown, a world authority on birds, and birds of prey in particular, wrote "I have been there when the spectacle of flamingos and other birds around the lake was of a sublime magnificence".
Lake Bogoria is a wild area; the lake itself set at the bottom of a trough at the base of a sheer 600 meter wall called the Ngendelel escarpment. Hot water geysers and fearsome fumaroles are found on the western shoreline evidencing the turmoil below. In the middle of the day the heat can be oppressive but there is a wonderfully cool campsite - Fig Tree - where a mass of giant figs create a cool haven and a limpid stream of fresh water adds to the oasis ambience. Game is far from plentiful but strangely this is the most likely place in Kenya where visitors can find and photograph the Greater Kudu. The attraction of the lake apart from its scenic magnificence is the opportunity, usually there, to see tens of thousands of flamingoes and a multitude of other water birds.
