Happy Valley Tour

There is a place in Africa where the wound of a great rupture promises abundant life in its healing. It is a place of brooding mountains, of great plains and whispering lakes - a place that attracts a diversity of life to its wonders - and it was once believed to be the birthplace of mankind. Eight lakes make up the Rift Valley Lake system, two of which are freshwater and the rest alkaline. The large flocks of flamingoes for which the Kenyan lakes have become famous are found on the alkaline soda lakes feeding on tiny crustaceans
