According to Sunsafari.com, Lake Bogoria turns a shade of pink in August-October because of its flamingo population.
Lake Bogoria has hot springs and geysers on the western shore, which is caused by geothermal activity, the website said. If you wish to witness these flamingos, then the best time to visit this area is between August- October.
Flamingos belong to the family of Phoenicopteridae. They are famous for their bright-pink feathers, slit-like legs and S-shaped neck. The bird usually indulges in shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms called algae, according to National Geographic. Did you know, they are able to "run" on water, thanks to their webbed feet, to gain speed before lifting up into the sky?
