Lake Baringo

Highlights

  • Why Visit: One of Kenya’s two freshwater Rift Valley lakes, Lake Baringo is a paradise for bird enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Its tranquil setting, dotted with islands and framed by dramatic escarpments, makes it a photographer’s dream.
  • Wildlife: The lake supports over 470 bird species, including flamingos, fish eagles, and herons. You’ll also find hippos, crocodiles, and sometimes giraffes and warthogs near the shores.
  • Fun Fact: Lake Baringo has seven islands - including Ruko Island, which is home to Rothschild’s giraffes.
  • It’s one of the few lakes in the Rift Valley with fresh water, fed by underground springs.
  • The local Njemps people are one of the few pastoralist communities that also fish for a living.
