Constituted of Sibiloi National Park, the South Island and the Central Island National Parks is the Lake Turkana National Parks, coating an aggregate territory of 161,485 hectares placed inside the Lake Turkana bowl whose aggregate surface region is 7 million ha. The Lake is the most saline lake in East Africa and the biggest desert lake on the planet, encompassed by a parched, apparently extraterrestrial scene that is frequently without life. The long assemblage of Lake Turkana drops down along the Rift Valley from the Ethiopian fringe, stretching out 249 kilometers from north to south and 44 km at its broadest point with a profundity of 30 meters. It is Africa's fourth biggest lake, affectionately called the Jade Sea on account of its stunning shade.

The property speaks to remarkable geo-morphological characteristics with fossil stores on sedimentary creations and in addition one hundred recognized archeological and paleontological destinations. There are various volcanic floods with petrified timberlands. The existing natural conditions give environments to looking after differing vegetation.

At Kobi Fora to the north of Allia Bay, broad paleontological discovers have been made, beginning in 1969, with the disclosure of Paranthropus boisei. The revelation of Homo habilis from there on is proof of the presence of a generally insightful primate two million years back and reflect the change in atmosphere from soggy backwoods field when the now petrified woods were developing to the present hot desert. The human and prehuman fossils incorporate the remaining parts of five species, Austrolophithecus anamensis, Homo habilis/rudolfensis, Paranthropus boisei, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens all found inside one region. These disclosures are significant for comprehension the evolutionary history of the human species.

The island parks are the rearing environments of the Nile crocodile Crocodylus niloticus, the hippopotamus land and/or water capable and a few snake animal varieties. The lake is a vital flyway section and stopover for palaeartic vagrant fledglings.

The topography and fossil record speaks to real phases of earth history including records of life spoke to by primate findings, vicinity of late topographical methodology spoke to by volcanic erosional and sedimentary area structures. This current property's principle geographical characteristics stem from the Pliocene and Holocene periods (4million to 10,000 years of age). It has been exceptionally important in the reproduction of the paleo-environment of the whole Lake Turkana Basin. The Kobi Fora stores hold prehuman, mammalian, molluscan and other fossil remains and have helped more to the understanding of human heritage and paleo-environment than any possible site in the world.

The property characteristics different territories coming about because of natural changes about whether and running from physical and sea-going, desert to meadows and is occupied by various fauna. In situ preservation inside the secured zones incorporates undermined species especially the reticulated giraffe, lions and sauce zebras and has in excess of 350 recorded types of sea-going and physical fowls. The island parks are the reproducing living spaces of the Nile crocodile, Crocodylus niloticus, the hippopotamus land and/or water capable and a few snake animal groups. Besides, the lake is a critical flyway section and stopover for palaeartic transient feathered creatures, with the South Island Park additionally being designated as a significant fledgling territory under Birdlife International. The secured territory around Lake Turkana gives a substantial and important research facility for the investigation of plant and creature groups.

Remoteness has safeguarded the region as a common wild. On the verdant fields yellow speargrass Imperata cylindrica, Commiphora sp., Acacia tortilis, and other acacia species prevail alongside A. elatior, desert date Balanites aegyptiaca and doum palm Hyphaene coriacea in meager exhibition forests. Salvadora persica shrub is found on Central and South Islands. The sloppy sounds of South Island have broad submerged couches of Potamogeton pectinatus which haven bringing forth angle. The key developing macrophytes in the occasionally uncovered shallows are the grasses Paspalidium geminatum and Sporobolus spicatus.

The property blankets an aggregate range of 161,485 ha. The territory around the property is scantily populated because of its confined area, insufficient freshwater and national insurance status. It is a paramount territory for hippopotamus and the world's biggest settlement of crocodiles (and the biggest Nile crocodile rearing ground on the planet). Physical proof through experimental studies show the territory's proceeded backing for home of vegetation of differing species over a huge number of years to the present. What's more, volcanic emissions and broad magma streams, land blaming inside the Great Rift Valley, and the framing of sedimentary stores have guaranteed conservation of fossil remains, which are huge in understanding the historical backdrop of life particularly human development. The adjoining Mount Kulal Biosphere Reserve serves as a water shed for the Lake Turkana Basin and as an untamed life dispersal range. It consequently guarantees the assurance of the biotic and common methods making it an essential site for avian residence and relocation, especially water winged animals.

The zone is overseen under two State Acts guaranteeing security, preservation and supportability of nature's turf and tending to for instance. post-archeological uncovering, unlawful brushing, poaching and over angling.

The property delights in the most abnormal amount of legitimate assurance by both the Kenya Wildlife Act top 376 and also the Antiquities and Monument Act top 215 (at present the National Museums and Heritage Act of 2006) under Kenyan enactment. Sibiloi National Park was legitimately designated as a national stop in 1973 inasmuch as South and Central Islands were lawfully designated in 1983 and 1985 individually. The property is co-overseen by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) and the National Museums of Kenya (NMK).
