Late last year, during the small window that allowed for some travel, I hooked up with Ben, a birding expert for an exploratory tour of the Rift Valley. The hotel is named after the nearby Lake Bogoria, one of the four Rift Valley lakes to the north. Sadly, his beautiful phenomenon is slowly fading away, thanks to the current phenomenon of rising Rift Valley lakes. Some of the buildings submerged at Soi Safari Lodge after Lake Baringo swelled on July 21, 2020. My two days in the geological museum that John Gregory called the Rift Valley revealed some secrets that make the region tick.
