Stretching some 6,500 kilometres from Jordan / Northern Africa to Mozambique / South Africa. It’s the largest rift on earth.

In Kenya, the rift gave rise to many lakes that have become a habitat for diverse wildlife. One such lake is Lake Nakuru, an alkaline lake. Lake Nakuru famously attracts vast numbers of seasonal, fabulously-colored pink flamingos to its shallow waters. Hippos, white and black rhinos, giraffes, tree-climbing lions, leopards, various other animals, and a profusion of birds are also present at the lake. Dinner and overnight at Lake Nakuru WCK Guesthouse.
