Kenya Photo Safaris. Wildlife Photography Lake Baringo And Bogoria

These are two Northern Rift valley lakes that are not visited by mass tourism. Baringo is a fresh water lake with crocodiles, hippos and lone standing islands. Surrounded by mountains, volcanic escarpments and acacia woodland the Baringo area is good place for landscape photography. It is not visited by mass tourism and it is the right place for genuine village visits for example to see the Njemps people , an ethnic community related to the Masai but their culture is different in that they are fishermen as well as pastoralists. Get the shivers as you see the Njemps on shallow fishing boats in a lake where every few meters there is a crocodile!!!

Birds photography is also interesting with over 400 species recorded in the area.

Lake Bogoria is an alkaline lake and a place to see thousands of flamingoes with a backdrop of very dramatic sharp hills. The surrounding hot springs and geysers surrounding the lake are a constant reminder that the Rift valley is still active. The open savannah are the very places to see the rare greater kudu as well as Thompson's and Grant's gazelles as well as zebras, giraffes, monkeys and baboons.

Photography in Bogoria is interesting as there is a variety of subjects from landscapes, wildlife and birds without being confined in a safari bus.

We recommend a minimum 3 nights for the Baringo/Bogoria area in a circuit with the Naivasha region. Email us with your request.
