Magadi, Kenya: an industrial and natural jewel on the shores of an East African salt lake
Magadi is located in Kenya's Southern Rift Valley Province, in the heart of the East African Rift Valley, next to Lake Magadi, one of the saltiest lakes in Africa. The town is famous for its rich salt resources, the history of local salt mining can be traced back to a century ago, and is still an important salt production base in Kenya, producing natural salt shipped to the country by rail. The unique ecological environment around Lake Magadi has attracted rare birds such as flamingos, making it a destination for birdwatchers. Despite the arid climate, with an average annual rainfall of less than 500 millimeters, the high salinity of the lake's water has given rise to a unique mineral landscape, with white salt flats contrasting with the blue water of the lake, combining industrial value with natural charm, making it a hidden jewel in Kenya's Rift Valley.
