A few weeks ago, pictures of Lake Bogoria covered in what seemed like a white sheet, almost like snow, resurfaced online, sparking widespread interest and curiosity across social media about what was truly happening in the iconic Rift Valley Lake.
What appeared to be a strange winter landscape was actually the aftermath of a massive algae bloom.
"This is something that normally happens in the lake a couple of times a year, depending on how the rain patterns are," explained Lake Bogoria Warden James Kimaru.
