About Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha and the Rift Valley

Lake Naivasha offers a scenic contrast to Kenya’s grassland safari destinations. Travellers can photograph lakeside vegetation, passing waterbirds and wide skies from permitted shores or safely organised excursions. Its surroundings make a convenient place to rest between longer road journeys.

Photography and Boat Safety

A boat safari must be specifically arranged with an authorised operator and is not an automatic activity within every itinerary. Lake conditions and safety requirements can affect departures. The Naivasha and nearby Elementaita accommodation areas are not interchangeable destinations for park visits, so exact lodging and routing should be confirmed during quotation.
