Baringo County, Administrative county in central Rift Valley, Kenya.
The county extends across 11,075 square kilometers of terrain, containing three significant water bodies: Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria, and Lake Kamnarok.
The formation of Baringo County occurred on March 4, 2013, as part of Kenya's administrative reorganization into 47 distinct governmental regions.
The region represents multiple Kalenjin sub-tribes, including the Tugen, Lembus, Ndorois, and Pokot people, who maintain their traditional practices.
Kabarnet, the county capital, provides governmental services and contains the main referral hospital serving the entire administrative division.
Lake Bogoria within the county holds geothermal springs and supports large populations of lesser flamingos throughout the year.
