Aerial view of dust devils in Shompole conservancy area in the Great Rift Valley, near Lake Magadi, Kenya. In this semi-arid region, animals and plants survive thanks to the waters of the Brown River (Ewaso Ngiro) that flow to nearby Lake Natron in Tanzania. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. The area is inhabited by the cattle-herder Masai tribes. The relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.

Aerial view of Lake Natron in the Great Rift Valley, on the border between Kenya and Tanzania. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many other lakes such as the Magadi, Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Natron is partly covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. During the rainy season, a thin layer of brine covers much of the saline pan, but this evaporates leaving a vast expanse of white salt that cracks to produce large polygons. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs around its shores and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor). Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. The area is inhabited by the cattle-herder Masai tribes. Relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.

Great Rift Valley, Kenya – January 01, 2016: Enjoying the hot springs in Lake Magadi's, Great Rift Valley, Kenya. Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Magadi is 60% covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. During the rainy season, a thin layer of brine covers much of the saline pan, but this evaporates rapidly leaving a vast expanse of white salt that cracks to produce large polygons. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs that discharge into alkaline lagoons around the lake margins and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor). Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. The lake is featured in film The Constant Gardener, which is based on the book of the same name by John le Carré although in the film the shots are supposed to be at Lake Turkana. Currently the area is inhabited by the cattle-herder Masai tribes, but the relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.

This 35mm photo is taken from the southern end of Lake Bogoria, Kenya, East Africa in 1980. As I stood with the camera a single zebu cow wandered past and looked down the length of the lake. The water is is hihgly alkaline and undrinkable. In the sky and scattered across the lake are lesser flamingoes (Phoenicopterus minor). Lake Bogoria (formerly Lake Hannington) forms part of Africa's Great Rift Valley. Millions of flamingoes are attracted to its soda lakes. Lesser flamingoes are particularly numerous here, on Lake Bogoria, where several thousand can be seen feeding. There are probably around two million lesser flamingoes. They feed mostly on (Spirulina), an alga which grows only in alkaline lakes. Although blue-green in colour, the algae contain pigments that give the birds their pink colour.

Aerial view of the Great Rift valley, Kenya. The Great Rift Valley is part of an intra-continental ridge system that runs through Kenya from north to south. It is within the eastern branch of the East African Rift, which goes from southern Tanzania to Ethiopia. The valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria, Nakuru, Magadi and Natron. Most the lakes are shallow, poorly drained and alkaline, thus very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor). Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. Currently the area is inhabited by the Maasai tribes, but the relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.
