Crater Lake
About
Crater Lake, or Sonachi, is a small, saline-alkaline lake to the immediate west of Lake Naivasha, inside a larger volcanic crater, with sides intact. It is privately owned, maintained as a Sanctuary, with a small tented camp above the lake. The flat land within the crater is partly wooded and holds populations of black & white colobus monkeys ( Colobus guereza) and antelope such as Impala ( Aepyceros melampus ) and Thompson's gazelle ( Eudorcas thomsonii ).
