PARKS AND RESERVES: LAKE ELMENTEITA
 
Lake Elmenteita
    Elmenteita is a small soda lake located southeast of lake Nakuru. Since it lies on private grounds, it is much less visited than Nakuru, though flamingo concentrations are obviously also lower. Perhaps because of being a quieter place, not long ago there was a breeding flock of greater flamingo, which apparently fled due to encroachment by pelicans.

    Most of the safaris covering the trip from Naivasha to Nakuru only stop at the viewpoint overlooking the lake on the A104 main road. However, there is allowance for accessing the private reserve surrounding the lake, named Soysambu and belonging to Delamere Estate.

    One precision: as usual with many Kenyan toponims coming from a Swahili corruption of terms from Maa or other languages, spelling varies depending on the source. You may find this place spelled as Elmenteita, Elmentaita, Elementaita or Elementeita.
