The Rift Valley
Literally home of
Kenya safaris, the Rift Valley is one feature worth
mentioning and deserves a lot of credit as a home to the rift valley
lakes, great sceneries and its influence on the geography of East Africa. A lot
of geographical features are attributed to it. Volcanoes topped with tropical
ice, shimmering soda lakes, rainforests and acacia spotted savannahs,
diverse cultures both old and new, deserts, tropical beaches and the greatest
concentrations of wildlife on Earth; Wherever you travel in East Africa the Rift
Valley is not far away.
Its influence has shaped one of the
world's most diverse and spectacular regions. The Rift Valley is a 6,000-mile
crack (fissure) in the earth's crust, stretching from Lebanon to Mozambique. One
of its most dramatic sections slices through East Africa, dividing Kenya into
two parts. Geologists know that the Rift Valley was
formed by violent subterranean forces that tore apart the earth's crust. These
forces caused huge chunks of the crust to sink between parallel fault lines and
force up molten rock in volcanic eruptions. Evidence that this process, called rifting is still in progress comes from the many active and semi-active
volcanoes, located along the Rift. Evidence of volcanic activity along the rift
is provided by the presence of numerous boiling hot springs in Hell's Gate, Lake Bogoria among other places
that the
Kenya safari
guides can point to visitors.
