Discover Northen Kenya - Jade Sea in Lake Turkana
The Magical Jade Sea Paradise
Lake Logipi is a minor lake located in the northern Kenyan Rift Valley. The saline, alkaline lake lies at the northern end of dry Suguta Valley, south of Lake Turkana. It lies approximately 48 km from Lake Turkana and is separated by the barrier volcanic complex.
Lake Logipi’s shores are very barren and entirely enclosed by mountains. On the east shore, there are three barren islands. Soft layers of silt of different hues of brown lie below the shallow water.
It lies about 30 miles south of Lake Rudolf. Its shores are very barren, entirely enclosed by mountains, and there are three islands, apparently quite barren near the east shore. It is fed by two rivers.
What water there was in this lake was exceedingly hot, and near the north end, where a smoldering volcano was situated, was just as hot as one would like to wash one’s hands in. This volcano I propose to call, after my companion, Andrew Volcano.”

Discover the beauty of Lake Logipi
Lake Logipi has a maximum depth of 3 to 5 m, and is about 6 km wide by 3 km long. Its waters are of sodium bicarbonate composition with a pH of 9.5-10.5 and salinity (total dissolved salts) that varies from less than 20 g/l to greater than 50 g/l. Efflorescent salt crusts (trona) are present around its margins.
Flamingoes frequently inhabit the saline waters feeding on cyanobacteria (Arthrospira spp. – formerly termed Spirulina) and other plankton. Lake Turkana extended after extreme rainfalls in 2020 and overflowed Lake Logipi.
Efflorescent salt crusts (Trona, the name is a sort of anagram of natron due to the sodium richness of this mineral) are present around its margins. Flamingos often inhabit these saline waters feeding on cyanobacteria (Arthrospira spp. – previously called Spirulina algae) and other plankton.
Lake Logipi is a saline, alkaline lake that lies at the northern end of the arid Suguta Valley in the northern Kenya Rift. It is separated from Lake Turkana by the Barrier Volcanic Complex, a group of young volcanoes that last erupted during the late 19th century or early 20th century.
Saline hot springs discharge on the northern shoreline of Lake Logipi and at Cathedral Rocks near its southern limit, and help to maintain water at times of extreme aridity. Flamingoes frequently inhabit the saline waters
