Kapoedo Hot Springs is a natural geothermal site in Kenya associated with the East African Rift Valley's extraordinary concentration of thermal activity, where bicarbonate-rich water surfaces from volcanic basement rocks in the Kenyan rift landscape. Kenya's geothermal heritage, including the famous Lake Bogoria hot springs, Hell's Gate geysers, and the Menengai Crater geothermal field, makes the country one of Africa's most thermally active regions and a global leader in geothermal power generation. The surrounding Kenyan rift valley landscape — with its flamingo lakes, savannah wildlife, and the dramatic escarpments rising on both sides of the rift — provides one of the world's most biodiverse and scenically spectacular settings for geothermal activity.

Insider tip — Arrive early in the morning at Kapoedo hot springs to enjoy the calm and the bicarbonate waters.
