The Rift Valley floor on which the two lakes lie was formed about 20 million years ago when the tectonic plates shifted, causing the formation of volcanic mountains and lakes, which exist to this day as evidence of that massive geological incident so may years ago. Lake Bogoria is a long thin lake (20km long and 2km wide) at the foot of several escarpments that rise from the floor of the Rift Valley. You can witness the sun setting in the Tugen Hills, its rays picking out the stream of the hot geysers and hot springs that jet from the ground skyward. Some locals believe the water from these geysers have medicinal properties, although some of it is so hot that it could scald while some is warm like bath water.
