Lake Bogoria, a saline, alkaline lake in Kenya's Rift Valley, periodically hosts extremely large concentrations of lesser and greater flamingos that turn the shoreline vivid pink.
Surges are driven by spirulina and other algal blooms after rains or geothermal upwellings, and numbers can swell from tens of thousands to over a million during major events.
