The great rift valley is a remarkable geographical feature and an extremely popular tourism region in Kenya. The main attractions are the wonderful national parks and Safari opportunities enabled by the wealth of wildlife.
It is a particular area for birdwatchers due to the string of alkaline lakes which attract flamingos, pelicans, and many other scenic species to the scenic valley. The fresh water eco systems at Lake Naivasha and Baringo, the nature reserve at Lake Bogoria, and Nakuru national park are a source of endless fascination.
