The Unpredictable Beauty of Lake Turkana

Lake Turkana is a breathtaking body of water situated in the rift valley in northern Kenya. It is the largest desert lake in the world and the fourth largest saltwater lake. The rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape contrasts with the calmness of the alkaline water, which shimmers in shades of green and blue. The lake is home to many species of fish, including Nile perch and catfish, as well as numerous species of birds and reptiles. The place has an interesting geological and paleontological history, including discoveries of early hominid fossils. The weather and water levels are unpredictable, making it a challenging place to visit, but one that is well worth the journey.
