NAIROBI, Kenya, 2019-Aug-21 — /Travel PR News/ — Coming from Nairobi the first glimpse of the spectacular Rift Valley are breathtaking. The escarpment on which the city rests crashes where to the floor of a volcano-studded valley hundreds of meters below, across which savannah grasslands reach out beyond the horizons. If the view could speak it would surely say, ‘Welcome to Africa’, and what a welcome the Rift Valley provides.
This battle of geological forces has left Kenya’s Rift Valley looking as if it were created by giants. There is a ribbon of streaming and bubbling soda lakes that scars the valley like the footprints of a massive hippopotamus, and numerous dried-out volcano cones standing to attention like amplified termite mounds.
In places, giants continue to roam; towering giraffes peer the heads of a million pink flamingos and rhinos look like something from the age of the dinosaurs in Lake Nakuru National Park. Not far away you can cycle right up to the gates of Hell, where legend has it that a masai woman was tuned to stone and buffaloes get hot under the collar. Not far away is the Lake Naivasha with its crescent Island Perfect for bird watchers.

Besides providing fertile soil, the volcanic deposits have created alkaline waters in most Rift Valley Lakes. These shallow soda lakes, formed by the valley’s lack of decent drainage, experience high evaporation rates, which further concentrates the alkalinity. The strangely waters are , however, the prefect environment for the growth of microscopic blue-green algae, which in turn feed lesser flamingos, tiny crustaceans (food for greater flamingos) and insects larvae (food for soda-resistant fish).
