A hidden gem located in the outskirts of Nakuru county. Offers boat rides though not good for swimming. I would highly recommend that you visit this hidden gem.

Strongly salt water lake with gorgeous views of the hills in Subukia all around. The flamingo and their flight formations were quite the sight to see. Friendly locals. It’s a hidden haven. Totally loved it. Was told there’s plenty of snakes there. It’s beautiful

A salty water lake located at the heart of Rift valley in Nakuru county, Subukia sub county, Solai Area. The semi arid section is quite hilly and the road infrastructure is not very reliable especially on rainy seasons. Ideal for family fun days and pick nicks.....

Lake Solai has a beautiful sunset view and the surrounding green hills beautifies more. A recreational haven can be developed.
