Central Island National Park
Lake Turkana’s Jewel
Home » Destinations » National Parks »
Central Island National Park is a protected area located in the middle of Lake Turkana in Kenya. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including crocodiles, hippos, and over 450 species of birds. The island is also known for its unique geology and is a popular spot for geologists and scientists to study the volcanic rocks and ash layers that make up the island. There are no facilities for visitors on the island and it’s only accessible by boat, making it a remote and exclusive destination for adventure and wilderness seeking travelers.
The Central Island Game Park is located within Lake Turkana and appears to be a small active volcano with three alkaline crater lakes: tilapia, flamingo, and crocodile.
