Lake Baringo National Park

Resting in the Kenyan Rift Valley, Lake Baringo National Park features a large freshwater lake. Considered Kenya’s most popular bird watching site, it is home to at least 470 of the country’s 1200 known avian species. Pelican, cormorants, fish eagles, and flamingos are among the most common birds sighted on and around the lake, which also provides a habitat for crocodiles and hippos. Boat trips are the best way to explore this aquatic park and its three islands. Don’t miss a visit to Baringo Community Museum and Reptile Park, which displays several species of snakes, lizards, crocodiles, and tortoises.
