A section of Lake Baringo located in the Kenya Rift Valley
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Lake Baringo is, after Lake Turkana, the most northern of the Kenyan Rift Valley lakes, with a surface area of 130 square kilometers (50 sq mi) and an elevation of 970 meters (3,180 ft). The lake is fed by several rivers: the Molo, Perkerra, and Ol Arabel. It has no obvious outlet; the waters are assumed to seep through lake sediments into the faulted volcanic bedrock. It is one of the two freshwater lakes in the Rift Valley in Kenya, the other being Lake Naivasha.[2]
The lake is in a remote hot and dusty area with over 470 species of birds, occasionally including migrating flamingos. A Goliath heronry is located on a rocky islet in the lake known as Gibraltar. |
