Lake Bogoria National Reserve Things to do

Lake Bogoria is another soda water lake in the Great Rift Valley located some 87km North or Lake Nakuru. The lake occupies the valley 600m below the Ngendelei cliff which can be seen as a sheer wall of 2,000ft at the opposite edge of Lake Bogoria. The lake covers 32 sqkm and it has geothermal activity on the western edge with hot springs and geysers. These have recently been covered by water due to an increase in the lake water levels.

The surrounding area is of acacia ficus woodland shrub and grassland savannah while the northern end includes a papyrus swamp. The park has provided a public campsite and a natural spa where people can bathe in the hotspring water.

The alkaline waters of the lake feed the blue green algae (spirulina) which in turns is the main food source for the flamingos. The flamingos can be more than 2 million individuals at times. These flamingos recently occupied Lake Nakuru but have moved due to scarcity of algae after the lake Nakuru water levels continued to rise.

Currently, all flamingo viewing day trips from Nairobi are done in Lake Bogoria as the populations left in Lake Nakuru are too few to get good pictures.
