Bogoria Spa Resort

Bogoria Spa Resort is a geothermal thermal retreat on the shores of Lake Bogoria, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Ramsar Convention wetland in the Baringo-Laikipia depression of Kenya's Rift Valley, where explosive geysers and bicarbonate hot springs erupt directly on the lakeshore amid a flamingo-pink landscape where hundreds of thousands — sometimes over a million — Lesser Flamingos gather to feed on the alkaline lake's cyanobacteria bloom. The Rift Valley's intense volcanic and geothermal activity, driven by the geological separation of the Nubian and Somali tectonic plates, produces the alkaline conditions of the Bogoria lake system and the spectacular geysers that jet steaming bicarbonate water six meters into the air along the lake's western shoreline. Bathing in the Bogoria thermal pools while hundreds of thousands of flamingos create a pink horizon across the alkaline lake — amid one of the African continent's most dramatic geological and ecological spectacles — provides one of Africa's most unique and overwhelming natural thermal experiences.
