Lake Magadi

Lake Magadi, Kenya

Lake Magadi lies in a catchment of faulted volcanic rocks in the southernmost section of Kenya’s Rift Valley. Camping on the edge of the lake is an adventurous out-of-this-world experience comparable to pitching up on Mars due to the rusty red arid landscape. At the crack of dawn, leave your tent and dip into the hot springs – you’ll have them all to yourself as the sun rises.
