Lake Bogoria

Declared a Ramsar site of huge ecological importance, the lake and its shores have been strongly protected since the 1970s.

Along her shores sits acres of lush green bushland and forest, supporting a host of plant and wildlife. Amongst the shrubbery, striped zebras can often be found grazing on the emerald green grass, with packs of hyenas and prides of lions never far behind.

Thanks in part to its relative obscurity, the lake sees much fewer visitors than the safari parks in the area. It’s possible you will be the sole explorers, traversing the lake in search for flamingos. The lake is located 155 miles from Nairobi, and takes around 4-5 hours by car. Most visitors combine a trip to Lake Bogoria with a visit to Lake Baringo.
