Kenya is part of what is referred to as The Great Lakes region, whose lakes are fundamental to the region's biodiversity. The lakes are found in several countries that surround the Great Lakes that include Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, and Malawi.
Of these Great Lakes, Lake Victoria and Lake Turkana are partly located within Kenya. Outside of these lakes, the country is home to 64 lakes, which constitute 9.5 per cent of Africa's lakes. A chain of eight of these lakes is found within Kenya's Great Rift Valley. None of the eight has a clear outflow.
