Lake Baringo

Lake Baringo is a freshwater lake that is well stocked with fish, and attracts Pelicans, Cormorants and Fish Eagles.

Bird walks and boat trips for hippo or crocodile spotting are the two most popular activities at Lake Baringo but fishing and water sports are also offered. Ol Kokwe Island, a stark rocky island at the heart of Lake Baringo, is home to Njemps villages and a camp. The rocky island of Gibraltar has the largest Goliath heron population in all East Africa.

The volcanic ranges and quaint islands provide a spectacular sight. The remains of Fort Baringo, dating back to the end of the 19th C, are still visible.
