The Central Lift's Nakuru, Burlingo, Bogoria and Keroo Valley are full of rich natural and cultural charm and you can enjoy every holiday. Nakuru can be said to be the cheapest town among the six major cities in Kenya. The most prominent feature is Lake Nakuru National Park, 5 km south of the center of the town. Waterbirds, especially flamingos, are gathered on the coast of thousands. Although Nakuru was said to be the most wonderful avianological site on Earth in the early 1960s, despite some conservation challenges that the population of flamingos is decreasing, it holds this prestigious title It must be. This park has lots of large mammals. Buffalo, Impala, Zebra, there is a flock of giraffe of rare white rhino and Baringo. The park also has lions and leopards, but patience is necessary to see them.
There are two lodges in the park. Lake Nakuru and Lion Hill Lodge in Sarova. Advance reservation to these lodges is recommended, not to mention a little expensive, especially during the holiday season. There are also public campgrounds and special campgrounds. Advance reservation is required for special campgrounds. Other interests of Nakuru is Meneganai Crater, which is accessible at the Mam Run Truck, 5 km north of the town. Menengai is charged as the second largest crater in the world, offering the Nakuru Town and Lake, and the Lukipia Plateau, Subukia and Dundori agricultural settlement vintage points. Craters are great for picnics, photography, outdoor meals and drinks.
In the immediate vicinity of the town there is a prehistoric ruin of Hilux, and there is Egerton Castle in Azuma, which is managed by the National Museum and Egerton University. The accommodation facilities outside Nakuru Park are abundantly prepared according to your desires and budget. There are hotels, guesthouses, private campgrounds, unique atmosphere and personality according to various tastes and interests.
Travelers with a little more time know that Baringo has a valuable experience. It is about 100 km away from Nakuru, and despite increasingly unstable goats and rodents on the road, traffic is kept to a minimum, especially immediately after the equator. The important landmark is the entrance to Bogoria Lake on the right side, and there is a Cabbanet bridge on the left a few kilometers away. After proceeding to Marigat, go through the town, see the diversion of the road, then enter the commercial base of Bilingual Lake Kampuya Samaki shopping center. It's pretty hot and humid, but it's a beautiful place. Here is something for everyone from bird watching, water sports, cultural and historical places. More than 450 species of birds are seen around Lake Viking, also famous for reptiles such as crocodiles, turtles and snakes.
At the end of the eighteenth century there is a story about the arrival of Masai and Samburu who lost the cow on this fertile ground with a raid. Maasai named the inhabitant Chums because of their strange ability to anticipate raids. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, they put up pillars and started fishing. Later, the Europeans told them that "Nemesh & # 39; Today Njemps still keeps livestock, cultivates fish and cultivates crops Njemps is an important attraction, visits to them go through the lake Hikers and crocodiles are more luxurious.The hippopotamus and crocodiles are numerous in this lake and therefore swimming is not recommended.The first Europeans were Joseph Thomson in 1883 to see Baringo Lake.The grass was very shiny He had to stand on the table to shoot the elephant! The permanent flow from the surrounding hills was supplied to the lake and the area was rich in wildlife. Today the river drained The population is increasing according to the agricultural activities and the place of residence, but the place holds the aura of the wilderness.
In the 1950s, Dragon Tanning Company's crocodile hunter, David Roberts, built a house on the lake with his wife Betty and started a fish factory before building a fish-eagle camp for tourists. In 1963 the lake rose 20 feet, sank in the house and destroyed the fish factory. In 1966, the newly died Betty spent six children, but sold the fish eagle camp to Mike Skinner. Mike Skinner is Block Hotel & Lake Barrigo Club. Betty is still popular Roberts & # 39; camp. Lake Barinog Club is one of the main tourist hotels in the area and is self-catering with full board accommodation, attractive cottages and cheap Banda and camping tents. The Thirsty Goat Restaurant has a bar and offers affordable cuisine.
It is convenient to walk along the lakeshore to see birds. Hippo can sunbathe along the lake shore, but Hippo grazes on the grass at night. You can enjoy swimming at a small fee at the pool of Baringo Club. Soy Safari Lodge in Kampi ya Samaki is a safe choice with a slightly lower budget. It is beautifully sitting next to the lake. You can get a view of the distant lake on that island. The lodge has a swimming pool and offers a lake and a boat stand for the Njemps island for a fee.
For those with time and heavy pockets, the island camp is worth the price. Advance reservation is always recommended as it is a popular place and you have to arrange transportation from the shore. Visitors leave their cars on the mainland and board the hotel's boat. Island Camp is an exclusive luxurious spot that won several national awards. From Baringo you can visit the nearby Bogoria Lake. It is 15 km from the main road and about 20 km from Burlingo. Bogor Lake is famous for its rich bird life. In the second house of flamingos in Kenya, sometimes up to 1 million birds are recorded. It is surrounded by numerous water birds.
Another amazing geographical feature here is a hot spring. Hot springs have been fascinating tourists for generations. The myth of Tugen surrounding its features makes it a worthwhile visit. It is fun to see how hot water boils the egg from the ground. There is a campground where a picnic family can spend the day in this protecting national park. If you are lucky you may see a rare antelope known as Greater Kudu.
Lake Bogoria Lodge is a 3-star hotel located in a wonderful location just outside the park. Accommodation is offered. The hotel is a shelter for bidders who can swim in the natural hot springs tented from underground springs. At the gate of the park there is the Papyrus Hotel. It is suitable for visitors who are just above drinks and Neyagawa. Baringo has one of the most successful irrigation projects supported by Pekera River, one of the rivers that feeds Baringo Lake. The Pekera irrigation program is producing watermelon, onion, tomato. Please drop by Marigat between Baringo and Lake Bogoria to buy these fruits and vegetables. However, visits to Baringo are completed without going through the Kabarnet-Sacho loop. You branch after Marigat from Baringo on the right. While you are on it you find the most delicious goat meat called Colima, with goat marigat and coba net coming from local wisdom, there is a special herbal plant that feeds the local goat diet. Koriema meat is located in the Koriema shopping center, along the road or in the town of Kabarnet.
Kabarnet is located on the slope of Tugen Hills, overlooking the beautiful Kerio valley of the western scenery, Baringo lake to the east, Bogoria lake. Kabarner Hotel is just 2 km north of the town and is a nice stopover for a relaxing and beautiful lawn, perfect for a bite or drink. To see the Kerio Valley correctly, run a few kilometers to the west towards Iten. There is a convenient point of view from where you can take pictures. Driving to the River Kerio at the bottom of the valley may enrich experience if time permits. After Kabarnet, follow the Sacho route along Tugen Hills towards Eldama Ravine. This is one of the most beautiful roads I have been pursuing. It is a very panoramic, more picturesque by the beautiful natural vegetation. Kiptangich has another viewpoint and campground, so you can take pictures and eat in groups. What is not far from here is Sacho, president of President Daniel Moi who retired. When the road leads to Eldama Ravine, we return to the Nakuru - Baringo highway near Kabarak.
