As you glide across the lake’s waters, you’ll encounter pods of hippos wallowing in the shallows and a myriad of bird species perched along the shorelines. Fish eagles, cormorants, and pelicans are just a few of the hundreds of bird species that make Lake Naivasha their home. Watching a fish eagle swoop down to catch its prey is a moment that captivates birdwatchers and photographers alike. The lake is surrounded by a number of private game reserves and farms, where wildlife such as giraffes, zebras, and antelopes roam freely. These areas offer opportunities for guided nature walks, which allow visitors to get even closer to the wildlife in a peaceful and non-intrusive way. Lake Naivasha is also a gateway to other attractions in the region, such as Hell’s Gate National Park, where visitors can hike, rock climb, and explore geothermal activity. Whether you’re exploring the lake on a boat or walking through the nearby reserves, Lake Naivasha offers a unique and relaxing safari experience that is perfect for nature lovers.
