Lake Naivasha safari lodges. Lake Naivasha is about 1
hour drive from Nairobi. Located on the Floor of the
Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha offers an ideal
location for one day excursions from Nairobi and a great
place to start a safari. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores.
Giraffes wander among the acacia, Buffalo wallow in the swamps and
Colombus monkeys call from the treetops while the Lakes large hippo
population sleep the day out in the shallows.
The region surrounding the Lake is well worth exploring. There are
two more smaller lakes nearby, Oloidien, and Sonachi, a bright green
cater lake.
Hell’s Gate National Park lies beside the lake. This Park was named
for its pair of massive red tinged cliffs framing a geothermal
active interior of steam vents and bubbling springs. The park is
home to a profusion of plains game and birdlife. Walking is
permitted, making it ideal for hiking, biking, and rock climbing.
Boat trips on the lake are widely available, and is a great way to
spend an afternoon or morning.
