Lakes of Kenya
Natron, Bogoria, Nakuru, Magadi, Naivasha, Turkana ... To name only some of the lakes that dotted the floor of the Great Rift Valley. Each of them is associated to an extinct volcano and is home to a rich wildlife.
MOST INSANE ROADTRIP Ever Done in Kenya! 2,400km Jade Sea Expedition! Part 1
The Jade Sea Expedition was the most insane, most insidious, most daring, most epic roadtrip ever attempted in Kenya!
A 9 days' off-road adventure circumnavigating the Lake Turkana from its eastern shores into Ethiopia and to the western shores of Lake Turkana.
This 2,400kms off-road expedition took on the treacherous backroads of the Northern Kenya's most beautiful yet inhospitable landscapes and crossing into Southern Ethiopia and back to Kenya. Over 1,000kms of the trip was offroad!
It tested the drivers' 4x4 driving and mechanical skills, endurance, courage, stamina, perseverance and resilience against the Northern Kenya nature.
Tempers flared, while lasting friendships got forged!
Plus a Subaru Forester XT, Nissan X-trail and Suzuki Jimny, all successfully completed the trip under the stewardship of The Mara Nomads!

Hotsprings and Flamingoes Lake Magadi Kenya Travel vlog
#lakemagadi #placestovisitkenya #kenyatravelvlog
Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, lying in a catchment of faulted volcanic rocks, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. During the dry season, it is 80% covered by soda and is well known for its wading birds, including flamingos.
Lake Magadi is a saline, alkaline lake, approximately 100 square kilometers in size, that lies in an endorheic basin formed by a graben. The lake is an example of a saline pan. The lake water, which is a dense sodium carbonate brine, precipitates vast quantities of the mineral trona (sodium sesquicarbonate). In places, the salt is up to 40 m thick. The lake is recharged mainly by saline hot springs (temperatures up to 86 °C) that discharge into alkaline lagoons around the lake margins, there being little surface runoff in this arid region. Most hot springs lie along the northwestern and southern shorelines of the lake. During the rainy season, a thin (less than 1 m) layer of brine covers much of the saline pan, but this evaporates rapidly leaving a vast expanse of white salt that cracks to produce large polygons. A single species of fish, a cichlid Alcolapia grahami, inhabits the hot, highly alkaline waters of this lake basin and is commonly seen in some of the hot spring pools around the shoreline, where the water temperature is less than 45 °C.

LAKE MAGADI SAFARI | AFRICA ADVENTURES | FLAMINGOES AND HOTSPRINGS
The Great Rift Valley never ceases to amaze!!
This saline lake is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Great Rift Valley and occupies the lowest level of the valley measuring approximately 100sq kms. It is located in a semi desert area. Several streams of both hot and cold water flow into the lake. The hot water heavily impregnated with soda. The spring water gush up through the caked crust dyeing the waters a vivid pink.
Lake Magadi is well known for its wading birds, including flamingos and Pelicans.
Flamingoes are unique. They breed in extreme habitats and feed in various species of algae thus they thrive in waters with very high concentrations of salt.
TIP: This makes the lake an ideal spot for watching flamingoes.
Lake Magadi is located southern part of Kenya and 106 Kilometers/ 65Miles from Nairobi. However, the drive can take up to five hours depending on the vehicle.
It is highly advised to take a four-wheel-drive or at least a vehicle with high ground clearance.
Lake Magadi is a large but shallow lake boasting 33.5 Kilometers long / 21miles and 3.5Kilometers/ 2.1 Miles.
Why Is The Lake Magadi Pink?
The reason why Lake Magadi is pink: The minerals formed by chemicals; the likes of Sodium Carbonates leeched by igneous rocks.
Washed down the valley`s wall and carried into the lake through the hot springs onto the lake’s lip.
When they come into contact with carbon dioxide, they spark as Potassium Carbonate brine.
It is also said Lake Natron in Tanzania Arusha was one large lake with Lake Magadi, am yet to believe this theory.
In this video we take you through a drive around at Lake Magadi. Enjoy!
