About Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley cleaves Kenya from north to south, a 6,000-kilometre geological scar visible from space, its escarpments dropping sheer to a floor studded with volcanoes and a chain of jewel-like lakes. Naivasha, Elementaita, Nakuru, Bogoria and Baringo each host their own spectacle, from flamingo blooms to fish-eagle theatrics. The viewpoint stops on the escarpment road out of Nairobi give a first heart-lifting sweep of safari country, and most Masai Mara itineraries travel its floor.
