Situated in the spectacular Kenyan Rift Valley, Lake Turkana is the most saline of Africa’s large lakes. Lake Turkana is a massive inland sea surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of Kenya’s rugged and harsh northern frontier. It is the world’s largest desert lake and is home to the world’s largest crocodile population, as well as migratory birds, hippos, and snakes. This vast body of bright turquoise water is known as the Jade Sea and its inhospitable surrounds have kept it as one of Kenya’s most remote areas. Visitors can explore the neighbouring three national parks, which have been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
