Lake Naivasha

Kenya

safari

Lake Naivasha is a freshwater jewel in the Great Rift Valley, perfect for boat safaris gliding past pods of hippos and fish eagles, cycling through the wildlife-rich Crescent Island, and exploring the dramatic gorges of nearby Hell's Gate National Park. The lake's gentle shores and lush surroundings offer a refreshing contrast to the dusty savannah.
