Lake Naivasha is one of the Kenyan Rift Valley Lakes, the highest of these and arguably the most beautiful. It hosts a large population of diverse bird and plant life. Its shores abound with wildlife such as giraffes, waterbucks, zebra and other antelopes. The stars of the boat ride are the fish eagles, which perch on trees looking keenly into the water for their next meal. Afterward, we proceed to our lodge on the shores of Lake Elementaita, yet another beautiful and biodiverse lake.

The park also hosts a rich and stable population of both the black and white rhinos. Lions, leopards, buffaloes and several antelope species are also present here, and so are the Rothschild Giraffe, famous for their ‘white socks’. Lake Nakuru is also a bird watchers paradise.
