Lake Elementaita
Highlights
- Why Visit: Tucked between Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, this small alkaline lake is a hidden gem. It’s quieter than its famous neighbors, making it ideal for visitors seeking a more intimate and tranquil experience.
- Wildlife: Flamingos flock here in large numbers, along with pelicans and other waterbirds. The surrounding Soysambu Conservancy shelters zebras, gazelles, and giraffes.
- Fun Fact: The lake is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Kenya Lake System.”
- The name Elementaita means “dusty place” in Maasai.
- Flamingos migrate here seasonally from Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria.
