The 'lodge':
Lake Turkana (former Lake Rudolph) is located in the Great Rift Valley in
Kenya, where climate is extremely hot and dry and winds can be really strong.
With its far northern end crossing into Ethiopia, it is the largest permanent desert and alkaline lake in the world, where Nile crocodiles are found in great abundance on the flats.
All the surrounding area is predominantly volcanic and an active volcano still emits vapors on Central Island.
