Cool place, flesh fish, boat ride, different wild animals and good for outing

Breathtaking place🤩❤️. I wanna go here again!

Lake Naivasha is home to many animals and different species of birds. It is a birders dream with around 400 species of birds such as the African Fish Eagle, Saddle billed Stork, Jacana, Greater and Lesser Flamingo’s, Laughing Dove, Dideric Cuckoo, Eurasian Nightjar, Hadada Ibis and the Gray Crowned Crane to name but a few. Zebra, Giraffe, Antelope, Water Buffalo, Warthog, Monkeys and the Hippopotamus are also found here. Canoeing around the lake is a great way to see the wildlife. The lake is almost 13kms across and is part of the Great Rift Valley. The late Joy Adamson who was the author of Born Free lived in Elsamere Lodge located on the banks of the lake. The Fishermen here at Lake Naivasha use handmade boats and fishing nets and mainly fish for Carp. There are many different tree species and flowering plants surrounding the lake in this rich eco system. Papyrus are important to the lake as it filters sediment and adds nutrients so play a key role in the eco system of the lake, This area is famous for growing roses in big greenhouses for the overseas market. It’s a great place to go for nice walks, see plenty of nature and to see beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Early humans came from this area. Human teeth have been found on an archeological site in the Naivasha area dating back 250,000 years. Only 35 kilometres away is Hells Gate National Park there are obsidian mines where early humans mined for the volcanic glass to make early tools. It’s a beautiful and interesting area.

What are your weekend plans!? If travel is your escape, then the tranquil waters of lake Naivasha are warm and welcome.

Very vibrant place to be! Boat rides, hippos, and a variety of birds. Giraffes and waterbucks linger on, not at all scared of the human activities. And to top it off, a meal of the freshest tilapia, fried as you wait. Great place!

Beautiful lake with sweet fresh fish. Only downside is the human pollution at the hippo point .

The boat ride was a great way to experience Lake Naivasha and get a close up view of all the hippos.

Great boat ride with sightings of beautiful birds and hippos.

Kenya may have so many lakes in so many areas but lake Naivasha is a must visit site .

Great scenary and experience.. need not forget the many variant options of games or to do lists to maximize on. Some do direct fishing,and the bought rides,are a must do.. . Amazing how nature does get to adjust and work about the tides,waters and still glow and remain beautiful.

Nice

Best place to enjoy with family and friends in great nature.

The boat rides were so excellent. We all enjoyed plas the people we kind

Wonderful bird life to sample. A boat ride will surely worth your while. Safety first though, avoid boating very late in the evening, the winds tend to turn the waters rough!

Lake with wonders from salty lake to fresh water lake

Exciting fish dishes and awesome boat ride

Be sure to eat the fish fresh from the lake.

Great lake to see migrating birds. Nice clean and the resort was super excellent on that lake.

A beautiful lake and peaceful Crescent Island. One of the must visit place in Kenya. There is walking Safari available at the island and get to spot zebras, water bucks, wildebeest, impalas and giraffes. On the way to the lake, we will be able to spot the hippos and many variety of bird species.

Beautiful islands, delicious fish.

The lake is visible from Site Naivasha due to heavy rains...people in Kihoto have been displaced.

Has lots of birds and hippos. Should go deep in the lake to witness what I saw, a huge number of birds just going about their day. Amazing.

Beautiful place ?

Visited here when I was in Kenya, absolutely loved it!! Beautiful scenery, so relaxing. Will definitely be going back next time I visit.

A beautiful fresh water lake with an underground outlet, good hotels and pocket friendly boat ride in the lake plus a good taste meal and if you love fish then they're in plenty

Fabulous place with amazing landscape and a wild diversity of animals, from birds to hippos. The lake itself can take hours to visit in total. Don't miss the island in the midst, breathtaking Kenya at its best!

Epic sunsets

Best experience of my country

Forgot the name of the hotel... pretty cool though 🤣

Beautiful beautiful place, but watch out for the hippos.

Lovely place to visit, it's a shame about the recent flooding in 2020, however my guide was very knowledgeable about the area and it was beautiful with a lot of wildlife, I personally saw hippos, African fish eagles amongst many!

Nice place, very good and friendly guide’s. Good amount of animals to see.

Awesome with great sceneries

Enjoyed the boat rides.. Of course they're cheaper and more fun when you're in a group. Saw plenty hippos. Loved the experience. If you are in Naivasha, I would recommend you visit this lake and take a boat ride

Amazing weather. Huge beautiful lake which is home of thousands of hippos with crescent island full of herbivores & campig site is so nice with more than 200 species of birds. Fisherman’s camp is very nice with a restaurant with good food. Amazing experience.

I had the best experience. Especially the boat ride and the meals. Ugali samaki ya kibanda was Delicious 😋

Amazing experience! Starting at KES. 1000 you will get a tour of the lake. The boat riders are friendly and provide information. Head to Karagita Public Beach to access the boats. Other activities include horse and camel riding.

Lets go see the Hippopotamus .

Most wonderful lake In nakuru County that I have seen. It has an island in the lake where I saw animals from the boat. Gazelles, zebras etc.... One can also go on the island to see more. I Also saw lots of hipppo in the water and also on the shore. As for those who are interested in watching birds, this is the best place for that too, I saw many types of birds while boating but there is a resort on the shores of the lake where one can see hundreds of birds species. I got live fish direct from the fishing boat, at reasonable price. Recommended entrance for boating in this lake is hippo point. No entry fees. Only boating charges which are quite fare also.

Enjoyed the boat ride

Beautiful scenery

The Detour out and about the lake was awesome....

Perfect for a weekend getaways

Attractive and adventure site.

Love this place

This is a private entry. Wrongly marked on Google!. Check for public beaches. They will talk nice then ask for car entry fee etc.

Loved the boat ride

Awesome

The lake is scenic and peaceful. There are a variety of flora and fauna and it's a great boating trip. Definitely take a camera along and beware of the hippos.

This is a fresh water lake with lots of fish and hippos. It also has two sister lakes that is oloiden and crater lakes tha are near by

Nice lake for a weekend trip. I recommend the boat trip for birding!

(Translated by Google) After your visit in Kenya to the Naguru Lake Reserve, a white rhinoceros conservation center, do not forget to go to the Naivasha Lake Nature Reserve, a hippopotamus conservation center. It is not that the hippopotamians are left too overwhelmed, in fact, even the boat trip through the populations of hippopotamus your guides will do it very carefully, and at a distance of sufficient security, given the bad fleas and agility that these animals have in Water; and if you are lucky enough to walk through this lake at sunset you will see one of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen with the wonderful reflections of the sunset sun over its calm waters (Original) Tras tu visita en Kenia a la Reserva del Lago Naguru, centro de conservacion de los rinocerontes blancos, no dejes de ir a la Reserva Natural del Lago Naivasha, centro de conservacion de los hipopotamos. No es que los hipopotamos se dejen desamasiado avasallar, de hecho, incluso el recorrido en barca por las poblaciones de hipopotamos tus guias la haran con mucho cuidado, y a una distacia de seguridad suficiente, dada las malas pulgas y la agilidad quer estos animales tienen en el agua; y si tienes la suerte de pasear por este lago al atardecer veras una de las puestas de sol mas hermosas que jamas hayas visto con los maravillosos reflejos del sol del atardecer sobre sus tranquilas aguas

Fun gateaway

One of the best places to visit on the rift valley basin. Fresh water with scenic views of the escarpment on one side as well menengai crater on the other. Boat rides will take you to the islands within the lake although some are privately owned. Wildlife, lots of them n lastly enjoy fresh fresh after your boat ride. Very tasty unlike zile samaki za China mnakula Nairobi ambazo zina strong mature bones na zimekaa 1 month kwa meli while being shipped into the country.

Nature walks, boat rides, fish banda's, not far from Eburu and Longont

On a cold day, boating at this lake was one of the most loved experience of our trip. It was a fun to watch the hippos, Giraffes, Beautiful birds and lush greenery at the banks.

Fish point

(Translated by Google) A great habitat for guppy fish (Original) Lepistes balıkları için harika bir yaşam alanı

Nice place for short vacation.

Beautiful, natural resource that hasn't been ruined by mankind, at least.

The lake is good but lots of activities around lake are not environment friendly..
