Let's explore Lake Simbi Nyaima in Homa Bay County with millions of flamingos. #Flamingos #simbi #homabay
Lake Simbi is a tiny Crater Lake measuring about one kilometer in radius. Simbi and adjacent Odango sites support a substantial bird population that includes flamingos, little grebes, little egrets, and Egyptian geese, making it a haven for bird watchers.
Lake Simbi is situated 2 kilometers from Kendu Bay Town. Lake Simbi features unique vegetation comprising of acacia banalities-combretum-Striga weed. It sits in an area of about 0.29 square kilometers and the basin occupies an area of 0.59 square kilometers. This National Sanctuary straddles at an elevation of about 1142 meters.
The word Simbi Nyaima denotes the village which sank. Simbi Nyaima in the actual sense is a crater lake just next to the shores of Lake Victoria and serves best as a prime site for you to spot most of the flamingos. The Luo, on the other hand, believes this site is of great significance given its legendary story. It is believed that the people of Simbi were celebrating their success at the chief’s place. The old woman appeared at the scene searching for refuge and food. However, the chief threatened to beat her up in case she stayed. She was then forced to leave and one lady sympathized with her and offered food and a warm bath. She advised the kind lady to leave the village with all her children and husband and immediately they left, a heavy storm swept the entire village and it sank.
