Lake Baringo is situated not far from Lake Bogoria. It is a fresh water lake and supports a healthy population of hippos and huge crocodiles which feed on the abundant fish found there mainly tilapia. It also supports a large variety of birds (over 500 species recorded) including the African fish eagle, Hemprich’s and Jackson’s hornbill, white-crested turaco, bristle-crowned starling and the red and yellow barbets.
