An aerial image shows the caustic Lake Bogoria on the top adjacent to the fresh water Kiborgoch swamp that is fed by one of main tributaries of neighbouring fresh water Lake Baringo, separated by a raised mound of earth serving as a crossing point over the rising waters of the lake in Marigat sub-county, Baringo county on July 29, 2026. Lake Baringo and other lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, with scientists attributing the surge to extreme rainfall linked to climate change. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced to higher ground, according to official disaster management data, yet many victims say the lakes keep following them.
