Lake Magadi is located in southern Kenya, about 106 kilometers from Nairobi. However, depending on the vehicle, the journey could take up to five hours. It is strongly recommended to use four-wheel drive or a vehicle with high ground clearance.

Head over to Kenya’s “pink lake,” Lake Magadi, if you don’t want to travel too far from Nairobi but want great rewards with a beautiful lakeside climax. Lake Magadi is a huge but shallow lake that is 33.5 kilometers long and 3.5 kilometers wide.

Continue driving by acacia trees and traditional villages toward Lake Magadi’s soda lake, which is home to flamingos and other wading birds. Bring a picnic or dine at the Lake Magadi Sports Club and Tented Camp. It’s a beautiful lakeside site, especially at sunset, and it serves wonderful meals. If you stay, you may select between nice rooms and safari tents. Other activities and attractions here include;

  • Swimming at Lake Magadi Sports Club and Tented Camp for only sh. 500
  • Enjoy interacting with the Masai living in the area
  • Bird Watching at Lake Magadi
  • Wild Animals
  • Visit Olorgesailie Prehistoric Site visit
