🎧 Listen to Introduction

Lake Turkana is the saltiest large lake in Africa and an excellent laboratory for studying plant and animal communities. The three national parks are stopovers for migrating waterfowl and major breeding grounds for Nile crocodiles, hippos, and a variety of venomous snakes. The Koubi Fora sediments, rich in mammal, mollusk, and other fossil remains, have contributed more to our understanding of paleoenvironments than any other site on the continent.
