Masai Mara, KENYA - September 5, 2018. Close-up of a lioness hunting for prey walking in the high grass of the savannah on a sunny day while some tourists on their jeep look at it closely
Flock of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor) and greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) in Lake Magadi, Great Rift Valley, Kenya. Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active, and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Magadi is 60% covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. During the rainy season, a thin layer of brine covers much of the saline pan, but this evaporates rapidly leaving a vast expanse of white salt that cracks to produce large polygons. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs that discharge into alkaline lagoons around the lake margins and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects, small crustaceans and massive flocks of water birds. Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. The lake is featured in film The Constant Gardener, which is based on the book of the same name by John le Carré although in the film the shots are supposed to be at Lake Turkana. Currently the area is inhabited by the cattle-herder Masai tribes, but the relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.
