Kenya Lake System

The Kenya Lake System in the Great Rift Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, encompasses three interconnected lakes—Bogoria, Nakuru, and Elementaita—renowned for their ecological diversity and stunning natural beauty. These soda lakes support vast populations of flamingos, endangered species like the black rhino, and over 450 bird species, thriving in a dramatic volcanic landscape. Recognized for its outstanding biodiversity and geological significance, the site highlights the delicate balance of life in a unique Rift Valley ecosystem.
