Lake Bogoria

One weekend, George and I traveled to Nakuru where his brother, Dave, was temporarily working. It's about four hours from Kisumu. We had a fun time visiting with him and went to Lake Bogoria for the day. Lake Bogoria is famous for it's flamingo population and natural hot springs. Other than flamingos, some of the animals we saw were: Ostrich, Dik-Diks, warthogs and antelope. We heard there were hot springs where people were able to sit in like a jacuzzi. After driving around the lake, we couldn't find them. We asked a few people who directed us to a stream. There we found locals (of the Kalagen tribe) swimming and washing their clothes. We changed to our bathing suits and hopped in. The water was really warm and the area was beautiful. It was a place most people would never find on their own. Because I was with Kenyans, they were able to find this spot. As I looked around, I had another "how is this my life?" moment. It was a once in a life time experience. Swimming in a natural hot stream with the locals in Kenya. It was great.
