Students went on a day trip to Central Island, a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Turkana. After a fun and refreshing 1 hour boat ride students arrived at the island, which consists of several craters filled with water. The first lake visited is named Crocodile Lake which, you guessed it, houses a population of crocodiles (although none were spotted). Thereafter students hiked around the beautiful Flamingo Lake, which is home to an estimated 3,000 greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus rubra).
