Lake Bogoria is a saline water shallow located at the northern region of the Kenyan Rift, 25 km south of Baringo.
The reserve covers the lake and adjacent lands, with 107 km².
Beyond the eastern shore, the soil rises abruptly to 600 m in the Laikipia Escarpment.
At the opposite edge, the earth forms strangely coloured swampy crusts, which break up in deep gaps spitting stinky sulphur waters and steam jets.
The close-up geysers, the pink brushstrokes of the flamingoes on the lake are fascinating.
But watch out, don't get too close, the signposts warning "Stop - danger zone - go back" are serious:
The earth collapses under your feet and beneath there is boiling water.
Bogoria National Reserve  is the home of Africa’s most magnificent antelope the greater kudu and a host of other savannah wildlife: zebra, Impala, Grant’s gazelle, klipspringer, buffalo, dikdik and Patas monkey among others.
Predators include leopard, Cheetah, Hyenas, Mongoose, Jackal and occasional sightings of karakul.
About 30 mammal species abound in the reserve. It is also rich in birdlife .
