Lake Baringo is a fresh water lake and with its picturesque islands and encircling mountains is a spectacular sight. The lake has a lot of fish and consequently many herons, cormorants and marabus can be found here. On Gibraltar Island, a birders' paradise, are breeding more Goliath herons then anywhere else in East Africa. Bird walks and boat rides are the most popular activities around Lake Baringo but cultural tours to local villages can be arranged as well.
Lake Bogoria has achieved fame as the "new home of flamingos", with a migrant population of up to two million birds. The reserve offers plenty of wildlife apart from flamingos including leopard and is one of few parks in Kenya accessible on foot and bike.
