    A good day trip from Eliye Springs. Unfortunately, many of the famous crocodiles have been poached. You will need to hire a private boat.

    It's a world UNESCO World Heritage heritage, located on Lake Turkana. It has three crater lakes, a crocodile lake, a flamingo lake, and a tilapia lake. It's accessed by a motorboat from either Kalokol or Eliye. You have to pay Kws charges before accessing the park at their Lodwar and Kalokol offices. It's a great place for hiking and picnicking. It's a two-hour boat ride from Eliye depending on the lake currents and 30 minutes, from Kalokol.
