Lake Kamnarok Game Reserve
Lake Kamnarok Game Reserve nicknamed “Amboseli of Baringo” is an oxbow lake with adjoining land at the base of the Kerio Valley. Its tributaries are rivers Ketipborok, Cheplogoi, Oiwo and Lelabei. An oxbow lake is a U-shaped body of water that forms when a wide meander from the main stem of a river is cut off, creating a free-standing body of water. It is the second-largest oxbow lake in Africa.
The name originated from the word Narok, which is a species of water plant that was widely found in the lake in the early stages of the lake formation.
