In Kenya, we can find various types of freshwater lakes. Some of the notable ones include:
- Rift Valley Lakes: Lakes within the East African Rift System, such as Lake Turkana, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru.
- Crater Lakes: Small, often circular lakes formed in volcanic craters, like Lake Elmenteita and Lake Simbi in the Kenyan Rift Valley.
- Tropical Lakes: These include lakes like Lake Victoria, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world, which is shared by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
- Mountain Lakes: Some lakes are found in mountainous regions, like Lake Michaelson on Mount Kenya, typically formed by glacial or tectonic processes.
