These two neighbouring lakes in northern Kenya, just a few kilometres apart, couldn’t be more different from one another! Lake Turkana is vast in size with fresh waters that are jade in colour, hosting great numbers of Nile Crocodile and Nile Perch. Lake Logipi is highly alkaline, shrinking in size due to evaporation, supporting no human life, but an important feeding ground for Flamingo and a diversity of other birds.
