Lake Bogoria tour is for bird-watching lovers and specifically the flamingos. Lake Bogoria is the best place for birds watching.The lake is alkaline, feeding blue-green algae which in turn feed flamingoes. At times the number of flamingoes feeding in the lake may be as high as two million. Raptors such as tawny eagles prey on the flamingoes. In total, 135 species of bird have been recorded. They include little grebe, pratincole, swift, little bee-eater, cape wigeon, yellow-billed stork, African spoonbill, augur buzzard, gabar goshawk, water dikkop, great tit, starling, hornbill and crombec.The reserve has a herd of the relatively uncommon Greater Kudu. Other large mammals include buffalo, zebra, cheetah, baboon, warthog, caracal, spotted hyena, impala and dik dik.

This company was great to deal with. We had an idea for travel that didn’t quite match any of their offered options and they worked with us to create another itinerary.
Our guide and driver Kariuki was great. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.
We visited lakes Baringo and Bogoria. And overnighted at lake Baringo in the most quaint, peaceful lodging resort. Everyone there was also so friendly and helpful.
Visiting Lake Bogoria with the seas of flamingos was such an epic experience that we will never forget.
Thank you Kariuki and Africa Vacation Safaris! Highly recommend.

A friend and I wee just in Kenya for a short time and it had been recommended to us to visit Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo, but we couldn’t find a tour company who offered that combination. We spoke to Denis, at Africa Vacation Safaris (very last minute) and he worked incredibly quickly to arrange a tour that fit our needs at a reasonable price. He was in contact with us regularly and came to meet us at the beginning of the tour to meet our guide.
Our guide, Kariuki, was excellent. He was a wealth of information on all subjects and we had great conversations and laughs over the long drive north and back.
Our trips to Bogoria and Baringo were unforgettable. The flamingos at Bogoria were mind boggling. And we could have spent days in awe of their numbers and the beautiful setting. In Baringo we went on a beautiful boat ride with a local guide who again, was unparalleled. We saw a number of birds, crocodiles and hippos.
The trip was so well arranged I would not hesitate to contact Africa Vacation Safaris again for our next tour of Kenya!
