Lake Turkana Kenya
Turkana Lake Kenya is the
largest desert lake in the world and the surroundings are of
prehistoric history value. In 1888 an Austrian explorer
discovered human skulls and bones at Lake Turkana. Then
Richard Leakey, a renowned archeologist excavated fossil
remains, eighty years later that dated back three million
years.
Lake Turkana Kenya is home to thousands of crocodiles,
actually the highest concentration of crocodiles, there are
a number of hippos and more than 40 different species of
fish. Enormous Nile perch have been spotted in the lake and
the Nile tilapia are caught for commercial purposes. Many
species of birds have been sighted around Lake Turkana,
including many migratory species from Europe as they travel
home between March and May.
Several tribal groups have adjusted to the harsh climate
around Lake Turkana including the Turkana, Rendille, Gabra,
and El Molo. The Turkana are semi nomatic while the El Molo
live as hunters and gatherers.
