Subjects : Predominantly African bird, the "queen" is the undisputed African Fish Eagle that can be seen while hunting, but also Goliath herons, egrets, night herons and egrets, tantali, storks, brown geese, cormorants, African jacana, kingfishers white -black, gray head and malachite, owls, eagles rapax, hamerkop, Anhinga rufa and all the birds of the marsh reeds essedoci many areas. It is also guaranteed a meeting with Nile crocodiles and hippos. Rarest mammals and virtually no predators.

Recommended equipment : The photo session takes place aboard comfortable spears that can accommodate up to 4 photographers, 3 best comfortable. The equipment includes a long focal minimum 300 mm. but also a 70-200 is recommended for those who often can be found very close. A wide-angle lens for beautiful views at sunrise and sunset is more than appropriate.

Best months : To avoid the rainy season, from April to July. Excellent high season corresponds to our winter. The conditions and the practicability, however, are determined by the amount of rainfall that can also contribute greatly to rising lake.

How to get there : From Nairobi along the highway 104 up to Nakuru and then continuing north you come first on Lake Bogoria and Baringo between now. KM.300 around for about 4/5 hour journey, as all paths Africans depends very much traffic.

Visits : The Baringo is not very popular, usually safaristi stop at Nakuru or at most to Bogoria. There are therefore several structures and existing ones removed the luxury camp but expensive bike on the main island, are rather spartan.

Notes : Absolutely recommended for those who love birds. Photographing hunting eagle, birds in flight free hand from the boat is a unique experience and a lot of satisfaction. The outputs are generally made in the morning and at dusk when the conditions are optimal for the lack of waves. During the day, apart from the scorching sun to peak (the spears are discovered), there is almost always wind in the afternoon and the lake is always moved. Exciting and adrenaline photograph from the boat with PDR optimal crocodiles and especially for those who "liver" the ippopotami.Personalmente of the particular photo session in the boat and the location still undeveloped and wild check to this destination a high mark.
