The Great Rift Valley is a remarkable geological feature and a very popular tourism region in Kenya. The main attractions of the Great Rift Valley are the wonderful national parks and safari opportunities enabled by the wealth of wildlife. It’s a particularly good area for birdwatchers due to the string of alkaline lakes which attract flamingos, pelicans, and many other species to the scenic valley.
The freshwater ecosystems at Lake Naivasha and Baringo, the nature reserve at Lake Bogoria, and the Nakuru National Park are a source of endless fascination, teeming with an incredible diversity of birds and large concentrations of animals. At these destinations, visitors can go on water safaris and get up close to the wildlife of the lakes.
