Lake Magadi is the most southerly of the Rift Valley lakes in Kenya and the most mineral rich of soda lakes, it supports many flamingos and other water birds. In parts, the surface of the lake is a weird sci-fi landscape of shimmering pink and white.
Olorgasailie is located 40 km north of Magadi, important archaeological finds were made at this site by Louis and Mary Leakey in the 1940s. A guided tour is available here as well as numerous notice boards and displays.
