Kenya is endowed with lush rainforest, endless
rolling savannah, volcanoes, glaciers, lakes, geothermal
springs, caves, coral reefs all with its boundaries.
Kenya is a world of its own where you will easily
find and see different landscapes in a single safari.
Come andsee for yourself. Kenya rises spectacularly
at the edge ofthe Great Rift Valley with a series of
Mountain ranges, wide lava flows and dormant or extinct
volcanoes.
Among the conspicuous features are the Aberdare ranges which have a deep salient forest and highland
meadows. A series of magnificent waterfalls plunge down the face of the ranges.
Mt. Kenya is Kenya’s highest mountain and the second highest in Africa. It’s covered with snow.
(Equatorial snow). To the west of the Rift Valley are the highland plateaus which include the cherengani
Tugen hills and the Kericho Tea zones which one would mistake for a green carpet. This wide range of
altitudes gives Kenya a variety of climates from the warm coastal region to the cool Kenyan highlands and
the freezing Mt. Kenya.
The Great Rift Valley
Some of the breath-taking lakes found in
the Rift Valley in Kenya are-:
LAKE NAKURU
LAKE NAIVASHA
LAKE BARINGO
LAKE TURKANA
The Rift Valley bisects Kenya from North to
South. In Kenya it has created a unique
world of highland savannah, Laval flows,
volcanic peaks, canyons, escarpments and
lakes.
This is one of the most beautiful and spectacular
place to visit. It is the home of thousands of
flamingos that paint the lake pink. The lake is
surrounded by forests and plains, which are a
home to lions, buffalos, warthogs, gazelles, rhinos,
leopards, monkeys and a large herd of waterbucks.
This is a fresh water lake surrounded by geothermically active springs
and geysers. Bird-lovers will find this lake and its environs to be a
hilarious and fascinating place since this place attracts over 400
recorded species. Banks of papyrus and thick forests of beautiful
yellow Acacia trees, with herds of buffalo, giraffe and Zebra
edge Lake Naivasha.
This is a fresh water lake which is a home for Hippos and crocodiles
A magnificent place to explore by boat with plenty of bird life to
watch as the world goes by.
This Lake lies in the northern part of the country. The blue waters are a
home to many crocodiles.
In a nutshell, it behoves as to say that from North, south,
east and west, Kenya is a world of endless variety and contrasts.
