Lake Magadi

Lake Magadi is a shallow, saline lake located in the Rift Valley of Kenya, near the border with Tanzania. It is known for its high concentration of sodium bicarbonate, creating a unique habitat for flamingos and other bird species adapted to the salty water. The lake lies within a protected natural area and serves as an important destination for birdwatching and studying ecosystems typical of saline and alkaline waters. The surrounding environment is dry and semi-arid, with sparse vegetation but rich in wildlife adapted to extreme conditions.
