The clear highlight of this region is Kenya's star attraction ... the
Maasai Mara.
Between Nairobi and the Mara lie the two main Rift Valley lakes of
Naivasha and
Nakuru.
Lesser visited lakes within the Rift Valley include
Baringo and
Bogoria to the north,
Magadi to the south.
Further east lie the island lodges of
Lake Victoria, a lure for fishermen in particular.
Generally of lesser interest are the lakeside town of
Kisumu and the forest reserve at
Kakamega.
