The town of Gilgil is located near the lake. In the south-to-north sequence of Rift Valley lakes, Elmenteita is located between Lake Naivashaand Lake Nakuru. The major Nairobi-Nakuru highway runs along the nearby escarpment affording motorists a spectacular view of the lake.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the southern end of the lake lie the &quot;Kekopey&quot; hot springs, in which the Tilapia grahami breed. Very popular for bathing, the local Masai claim that it can cure AIDS. The reed beds nearby are [http://Www.Melodyhome.com/category-0/?u=0&amp;q=fishing%20grounds fishing grounds] for night herons and pelicans.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Lake Elmenteita area saw its first white settlement when Lord Delamere (1879-1931) established his Soysambu, a 48,000-acre (190 km2) ranch, on the western side of the lake. Delamere gifted the land nearest the lake to his brother-in-law, the Honorable Galbraith Lowry Egerton Cole (1881-1929), part of whose &quot;Kekopey Ranch&quot;, where he is buried, is preserved today as the Lake Elementaita Lodge. Thus the lake retains early colonial home features that include a red brick building with shady terraces, an internal courtyard, paneled walls and a sitting room with a library and log fires.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The nearby Soysambu estate is still occupied by Lord Delamere's descendants.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Over 400 bird species have been recorded in the Lake Nakuru/Lake Elmenteita basin. Elmenteita attracts visiting flamingoes, both the Greater and Lesser varieties, which feed on the lake's crustacean and insect larvae and on its suspended blue-green algae, respectively.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recently the lake level and number of flamingoes has receded as increased human activity has dried up catchment areas.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tilapia were introduced to the lake from Lake Magadi in 1962 and since that time the flamingo population has dwindled considerably. The tilapia attract many fish-eating birds that also feed upon the flamingo eggs and chicks. Over a million birds that formerly bred at Elmenteita are now said to have sought refuge at Lake Natron in Tanzania.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The lake's shores are grazed by zebra, gazelle, eland and families of warthog.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The lake is normally very shallow (what to do inle&lt;/a&gt; cattle owners.
