According to Sunsafari.comThe Bogoria lake turns pink in August-October due to its flamingo population.
The website said Lake Bogoria has hot springs and geysers on its west coast, caused by geothermal activity. If you want to see these flamingos, then the best time to visit this area is between August-October.
Flamingos belong to the family of Phoenicopteridae. They are famous for their bright-pink plumage, truncated legs, and S-shaped neck. According to National Geographic, birds usually indulge in plant-like water creatures called shrimp, snails and algae. Did you know, they are able to “run” on the water, thanks to their webbed feet, to gain speed before rising up into the sky?
