Lake Bogoria Kenya
Lake Bogoria was first discovered by the Kampala Bishop James Hannington in 1885
while heading for his diocese following Thomsonfs route. The volcanically active
lake is lined with spouting geysers. The lake has the highest number of true geysers
in Africa. In addition the lake has around 200 hot springs at three onshore sites
while the other hot springs discharge directly from the lake floor. The soda waters
of the lake contain the blue -green algae which tend to attract massive flocks of
flamingoes seasonally hence the lake is often carpeted with pink. Framing the shallow
waters pinned with flamingoes is superb scenery of bluish hills populated with dry
bush, grassland and riverine.
