Rift Valley Lakes Lodges

Experience the Best Rift Valley Lakes Lodges with Nature Nest Safaris

Safari lodges in the Rift Valley region of Kenya are located along a chain of Lakes that is Turkana, Nakuru, Naivasha, Elmenteita and Baringo. To the East of Lake Naivasha, is the outstanding promontory of Mount Longonot a dominant volcano that is the site of the continent’s largest geothermal power facility. Small steam vents are found around the walls of the crater and while there is very little vegetation of the mountain slopes there is a dense forest within the crater itself.

Lake Naivasha languishes amid a patchwork of small farms, villages and resorts. Naivasha is mainly spring-fed and thus the only large freshwater lake of the Eastern Rift. While the Lakes of the Western Rift are all deep and pristine, the Eastern Rift lakes are very shallow and have no outlets to the sea. High evaporation rates near a white crust around the shore edge.

These are the so called soda lakes including Baringo, Lake Nakuru, Elementeita, Magadi and Natron. What makes the soda lakes most attractive are the tens of thousands of flamingoes that congregate there to eat the cyanobacteria, algae and brine shrimp.
