The Kenyan Lake System of the East African Rift Valley is a scenic natural site consisting of three interconnected shallow lakes (Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and Lake Elmenteita) in the Rift Valley Province of Kenya, covering a total area of 32,034 hectares. The site is home to 13 globally threatened bird species and is one of the world's most diverse bird species. It is the most important foraging site for the Lesser Flamingo and a major nesting and breeding site for the Great White Pelican. The site has a large mammal population, including black rhinoceros, Rothschild's giraffe, greater kudu, lion, cheetah and wild dog, and is of great value for studying important ecological processes.
