Lake
Naivasha full day trip safari from Nairobi takes you
to Lake Naivasha the second largest freshwater lake
in Kenya which is approximately 100 Kilometers from
Nairobi and a 2 hour drive away. Lake Naivasha is
located north west of Nairobi, outside the town of
Naivasha. It is part of the Great Rift Valley.
Lake
Naivasha full day trip safari departs Nairobi after
breakfast and the journey takes you northwest of the
city of Nairobi to the Great Rift Valley Floor. Along
the way you make a special stop at a viewpoint to
enjoy views of the Great Rift Valley Escarpment. Once
in Lake Naivasha we proceed to Elsamere Lodge; the
original home of Joy Adams of Born Free fame for high
tea.
Elsamere
lodge or Camp is a haven for lovers of nature, set
in Acacia forest on the banks of Lake Naivasha in
Kenya’s Rift Valley. It is the former home of
the late Joy Adamson who, together with her husband
George Adamson, became world famous for their pioneering
conservation work and relationship with the lioness
Elsa, as told in her best selling book and subsequent
film, ‘Born Free’ and she did much of
her writing at Elsamere up until her murder in 1980.
Her
relationship with Elsa the lioness who she raised
from a young cub and later successfully released back
into the wild. After the visit we proceed for lunch
at one of the lodges located on the shores of Lake
Naivasha. Early afternoon we take a boat ride on Lake
Naivasha.
This
is a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus
is almost 13 km's across, but its waters are shallow
with an average depth of five metres. 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 Colobus monkeys call from the treetops
while the Lakes large hippo populations sleep the
day out in the shallows.
Our
next discovery takes us to Crescent Island Conservancy.
The terrain is flat, making it easy for walkers of
all abilities to enjoy themselves. There is a lot
of easy to see game e.g. giraffes, waterbucks, elands,
wildebeests, zebras and impalas. It is also a heaven
for birds with +200 species recorded.
The
lake has a lot of hippos, which you can easily spot
from the island. Among the resident birds are fish
eagles, ospreys, lily-trotters, black crakes and a
variety of herons. Hippos also live in the lake.
A
number of mammals can be seen grazing in the surrounding
lake environs, such as zebra, impala, buffalo, giraffe,
Kongoni and, at night, hippos.
We
return back to Nairobi in the evening.
