		Lake Magadi is an almost terrifying spectacle: The lake changes colour from brilliant white to cerise pink, cobalt, indigo, deep scarlet and soft pastels as the light changes.
		Lake Magadi is also home to one of Africa's toughest fish, tilapia Grahami, which live in the hot springs on the fringes of the lake in water with a salinity of 40% and a temperature of 39degC.
		Lake Natron is a spectacular sight, always tinged pink by the combination of soda and vast flocks of flamingos, with a rugged escarpment rising to 2 043m straight from the lake bed.

		Lake Nakuru was the first place in Africa to be designated a National Park primarily because of the birds.
		Lake Natron is inaccessible and inhospitable - unless you happen to be a flamingo; despite the fact that the temperature of the mud around the lake can reach 50° it's the only known breeding ground for East Africa's Lesser Flamingoes, although they do occasionally attempt to breed at Nakuru or Bogoria.

		The Maasai, who live around the lake, view it with a mixture of respect and fear, though mostly with indifference: many times I was told that even falling into the lake would cause all my skin to fall off.
		Magadi Town is a weird anomaly: perfect tarmac, perfect little buildings, no litter, lots of fences, and everything owned and run and regulated by the Magadi Soda Company.
		So it was that the shores of Lake Magadi, with their weird salt crystal formations and abstract streaks of colour and texture were immediately attractive.

	Webkenya - Safari in Kenya - Magadi Lake
		A visit to Magadi lake is a nice one-day safari from Nairobi and it is worth a visit for its general landscape, for the wonderful colours of its soda water and for its birdlife.
		Lake Magadi, as most lakes of the Rift Valley, is an alkaline lake surrounded by volcanic hills and/or escarpment, here the Shompole volcano (1,564 m-5,131 ft.), the Mount Olorgesailie (1,760 m-5,774 ft.) and the Nguruman escarpment (2,330 m-7,644 ft.).
		Therefore, all alkaline lakes are near a volcano : Lake Natron (Tanzania) and Lake Magadi (Kenya) are near Shombole, Olorgesailie (Kenya), lake Elmenteita near Eburu crater, lake Nakuru near Menengai crater, lake Bogoria near Laikipia volcanic escarpment.

		It is located on the shores of Lake Magadi, a "soda lake," or lake that is highly alkaline (the opposite of acidic).
		Much of the lake's extent is dry during the hot season; these periods of intense evaporation contribute to the alkalinity of the lake.

		Lake Magadi lies in the Great Rift Valley, about 115km south west of Nairobi at an altitude of 605m (2,000feet) above sea level.
		The lake consists of a deep crystalline bed of trona which is a mixture of sodium sesquicarbonate, sodium chloride, other sodium salts and clays, together with a small amount of organic matter.
		Magadi's high temperatures and long sunny days cause the solution to concentrate by evaporation eventually giving rise to more trona.

	Physiography (from East African lakes) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The surface levels of the lakes on the irregular floor of the Eastern Rift Valley are of varying heights, rising from Lake Rudolf (1,230 feet [375 metres] above sea level) through Lake Baringo (3,200 feet) to Lake Naivasha (6,180 feet), after which there is a decrease in height to Lake Magadi (1,900 feet).
		The majority of the East African lakes lie within the East African Rift System, which forms a part of a series of gigantic fissures in the Earth's crust extending northward from the Zambezi River valley through eastern and northeastern Africa and the Red Sea to the Jordan River valley in southwestern Asia.
		Nyasa, which means “lake,” is 363 miles (584 kilometers) long, north to south, with varying widths of 10 to 50 miles (16 to 80 kilometers).

		A string of great lakes, including Turkana, Victoria, and Tanganyika, and other stretches of water such as Lake Magadi (the most southerly in Kenya) fill these depressions.
		Lake Magadi is fed by rains that leach through the neighboring volcanic slopes, bringing down minerals which give the lake a high salt content.
