The Journey
Three soda lakes, two volcanoes, and a million flamingos — the Rift Valley as its own complete journey.
Often passed through, the Great Rift Valley deserves a dedicated week. Boat safaris, walking islands, hot-springs at Bogoria, and the rose-tinged shores of Lake Nakuru — at the heart of one of Africa's most geologically dramatic landscapes.
