"As you approach Lake Naivasha from Nairobi, the one-lane,potholed road risesand you are suddenly treated to a truly awesome view of the Great Rift Valleystretching outto the horizon. Shimmering within that vistaisLake Naivasha, a popular weekend destination for Nairobians. The lake itself is beautiful in a prehistoric-looking way, with wispy, jagged trees jutting up from the water and hippos bathing in the midday sun. Along the boggy shoreline, before thewater lilies and tropical grasses give way to the open water, it’s easyto imagine ancient creatureswriggling their way up onto landand eventually evolving into the first hominids. While in the area, explore Hell's Gate National Park andits gigantic gorge, take a boat trip on the lake in search of hippos, and get your fill of the freshly made pizzas at Camp Carnelley’s."

We extended our trip from Masai Mara just to visit Lake Naivasha—and it was totally worth it! The lake is beautiful, with plenty of birdlife, hippos, and a peaceful atmosphere. The boat ride was the highlight, followed by a guided nature walk where we saw zebras, giraffes, and impalas up close—all herbivores, so it’s completely safe to walk around. A perfect spot for nature lovers and anyone who enjoys boat rides on a scenic freshwater lake!

A must visit even after you have seen Masai Mara. You can walk at a distance of 1 meter from Zebra, Giraffae, Wild Beast, Antelope and few others. It’s a must do

Lake Naivasha is home to picturesque spots and scenic landscapes that’s irresistible! You can spot Giraffes, 🦒 exotic birds 🦅, eagles, Deers ans Hyenas. The boat ride across the lake to up the mountains at Mt.Longonot national park is very adventurous.

A very beautiful place to see pelicans and other birds. Take a board trip to crescent island if you plan to visit lake Naivasha.

Very interesting place. Loads of cool birds. Boat ride to crescent Island was fun and the island itself was pretty cool. Lots of ostriches, they do come close so watch for their head pecking you. I'd recommend going early because of the sun but it doesn't really matter.

Peaceful Escape at Lake Naivasha – A Perfect Extension to Our Trip We extended our trip to include Lake Naivasha, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful and refreshing parts of our journey. The lake’s serene waters, surrounded by lush greenery and birdlife, created the perfect atmosphere to relax and unwind. We enjoyed a boat ride where we spotted hippos, fish eagles, and countless other bird species. The views were stunning, especially with the backdrop of Mount Longonot. The area is also rich in wildlife—you’ll likely see zebras, giraffes, and waterbucks roaming freely along the lake shores. The weather was cool and pleasant, and the sunsets over the lake were simply breathtaking. It’s a wonderful place for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone wanting to slow down and soak in some natural beauty. Definitely a must-visit if you're exploring the Rift Valley region. Would highly recommend staying a night or two to fully enjoy the magic of Lake Naivasha.
