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.

Highlights

  • Dik Dik, bush pigs, waterbuck, elephant, buffalo, warthog, and Rothschild’s giraffe.

It has the second largest crocodile population after Lake Chad but the numbers have steadily dwindled and now there are less than 5000 from 15,000 five years ago. This is because of human encroachment and siltation that is caused by human activities around the lake.
