A
Do you want to see majestic lions roaring, rare rhinos running and colorful
birds flying? You’ll find this incredible display of nature in the Kenya Lake
System in the Great Rift Valley.
First stop
Fly into Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. This great city is known for its
fashion markets and beautiful art. And be sure to pick up some rich Kenyan
coffee while you’re there! Then head for the countryside.
Plan your trip
The largest of the three lakes in the system, Lake Nakuru, is less than
175 kilometers from Nairobi. But Lakes Bogoria and Elementaita are equally
worth a visit. You can stay at one of several choices of luxurious cabins
(小木屋)in the valley. And if you sign up for a trip, be sure to put flamingos,
the white and pink birds, at the top of your list.
Paradise
The Kenya Lake System is shallow and alkaline (碱性的). That means it
supports vegetation such as green algae, a food source for many waterfowl.
Hundreds of species of birds flourish(茁壮成长) here, using this area as
a major breeding and nesting ground. Water buffalo, leopards, monkeys and the
endangered Rothschild giraffe also make this area their home.
Other sights
Wildlife isn’t the only natural wonder in the Great Rift Valley. The valley
marks a place where the earth is divided far below the surface. This rock
separation below ground leads to noticeable features above ground. Walking
around Lake Bogoria especially, you will see steam rising from hot springs.
Other activities include golfing, horseback riding and hiking. The fun
doesn’t stop when the sun goes down, either. The river valley is far from
city lights, so many visitors gaze at the stars shining above.
If you are ready for a wildlife experience, don’t hesitate!
