Which are the best lakes to visit in Kenya?
Lakes in Kenya, particularly along the Rift valley, are undeniably gorgeous.
That’s not to say that the rest are ugly – they are pretty in their way.
But, you must admit, the Rift valley lakes, with their flamingos and nearby hiking trails are a special treat for the eyes. If you’re looking for flamingos, sunset, and hiking trails Elementaita is just the ticket. However, if you want to camp away from towns and cities, go to Lake Ellis, Chala, or Jipe.
Which is the bigest lake in Kenya?
Lake Turkana is 300 Km long and 50 Km wide, which also makes it the largest lake in Kenya (although, Lake Victoria which is shared with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda is larger). It is also the world’s largest permanent desert lake.
