Lake Turkana is famous for its high concentrations of crocodiles and whilst you are more likely to see a couple at a time, there are sandbanks where you can see a hundred or so at night. The lake is a wonderful place for birdwatchers with lesser flamingos, spoonbills, goliath herons and many more species found there. The lake is also popular with serious fisherman with over 60 species of fish in the lake. Of particular interest to anglers are tiger fish, catfish, tilapia and enormous Nile perch.
The Sunrises and sunsets in Lake Turkana are amazing and seam to last forever and ever. The sunsets are particularly interesting many have commented and observed after experiencing it: it’s as if the sun in going below the earth in the horizon one can never get enough of it.
