Rank : 8.0 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : -0.730723, 36.396046 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Lake Naivasha is the tallest of the Rift Valley lakes (1884m above sea level), a freshwater lake with shores surrounded by papyrus and yellow acacia trees giving a unique atmosphere. The present birdlife is very rich, Queen among all the Fish Eagle. It is possible to see Cormorans, Pellicans, many species of Ibis, many species of Herons, Sorcerer Bird, African Jacana, Marabou, Yellow Beak Storm, Flamingos and many more. Among the mammals, many Hippos and Giraffes. It is recommended to see the sun rise on the lake and the morning boat trip.

Recommended equipment : The equipment I recommend will be a Reflex (better if tropicalized), with a superzoom or a telephoto lens of at least 500mm, to be combined with a wide angle for beautiful landscapes.

Best months : All year round, but the best time for all of Kenya's central area is from June to September, where rains are limited. Lake Naivasha is half of local tourism.

How to get there : From Italy you land at Nairobi International Airport, take the A104 asphalt road towards Uganda and Lake Naivasha will be on your right (about 2 hours from Nairobi).

Visits : Lake is not a national park and therefore the entrance does not pay. If you want (highly recommended) to ride a boat the cost is about $ 40 per head. Nearby you can visit the Elsamere Conservation Center, an environmentally-friendly center that once housed the writer Joy Adamson ($ 10), Hell's Gate National Park, or the Crater Lake (free).
