Lake Naivasha is an iconic lake in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is the highest lake in the Rift Valley at an elevation of 1,884 metres above sea level, and the second highest in Kenya after Lake Turkana. The lake lies on an extensive flower farming area and is also home to numerous wild animals, including zebras, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, and a variety of birds. It is the ideal destination for nature lovers who want to experience nature in her full glory, with plenty of opportunities for wildlife watching and birding.
The lake is fed by numerous small rivers and streams that originate from the nearby Mau and Eburu hills. As the waters recede during the dry season, they break the surface of the lake and create a beautiful mosaic of islands, swamps, and shallow waters. Almost the entire lake is fringed by papyrus, lush grasses, and reeds.
The lake is also home to a wealth of fauna, including hippos, waterbuck, otters, and a plethora of bird species, including lesser flamingo, cormorants, pelicans, grey-crowned cranes, the rare African fish-eagle, and if you are lucky you may even spot the rare and elusive papal bird.
Lake Naivasha is the perfect destination to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and experience nature in its truest form. From dawn to dusk, the lake comes alive with a multitude of sights, sounds, and activities, promising a unique experience that any outdoor enthusiast will treasure.
