Flamingos in their tens of thousands on the Rift Valley soda lakes. The numbers move with the water, so Bogoria is usually the better bet and no honest operator will promise them anywhere.
Each of these is somewhere we run flocks Of Flamingos, with its own page.
Kenya
A shallow soda lake ringed by acacia and yellow-barked fever trees, fenced right around — which is why it works as a rhino sanctuary. Both black and white rhino are here in numbers, along with Rothschild's giraffe and the lions that have taken to climbing trees. It is ninety minutes from Naivasha and slots into almost any Kenya route.
Kenya
Bogoria is the one with the geysers. Jets of boiling water and steam come straight out of the lake shore, and the alkaline water behind them often carries the biggest flamingo flocks left in the Rift Valley. It is a detour off the Nakuru road and a strange, memorable hour.
Prices are per person. Any of these can be adjusted to give the activity more time.
