Lake Bogoria National Reserve: |
|
The
amazing Lake Bogoria National Reserve is located in Baringo
with a vegetation of riverine forest and bushland. The park
was primarily established to protect the greater kudu, found
on the western slopes of the Laikipia Escarpment. Other
than this wildlife specie, the park also hosts a large population
of beautiful pink flamingoes, small heards of thompsons
gazelle, groups of zebra, warthog, klipspringers and if
lucky, you may spot leopards and cheetahs. But the main
attraction of this park is its furiously erupting hot springs
and geysers, hot enough to boil an egg in a matter of seconds!
