LAKE NAIVASHA
From the top of
the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley you can see Lake
Naivasha sparkling in the sun thousands of feet below. Just
an hour's drive from Nairobi, Naivasha is one of the gems
in a necklace of Rift Valley lakes.
Activities whilst
on a Kenya Safari in Lake Naivasha
Hell's Gate National Park
lies beside the lake. This Park was
named for its pair of massive red tinged cliffs framing a geothermically
active interior of steam vents and bubbling springs. The park is home to
a profusion of plains game and birdlife. Walking is permitted, making it
ideal for hiking, biking, and rock climbing.
Boat trips on the lake are widely available, and is a great way to spend
an afternoon or morning. The water is dotted with Pelicans, and the
papyrus alive with Kingfisher, Heron, Jacanas and more, while high in
the trees over the Lake you will find Africa's largest concentration of
African Fish Eagles.
Sunsets are always stunning, with the haunting call of a Fish Eagle high
over the Lake bringing the day to a perfect end....
Colobus monkeys are often seen in the
canopy of the Acacia forests around the lake, and on the north shore of
the lake Buffalo, Waterbuck and Eland are often seen grazing.
Crescent Island, a partially submerged volcanic crater, is a
private game sanctuary with herds of wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, gazelle
and other plains game. Many local lodges can organize boat trips to the
island, where you can walk among the herds of game.
North West of the Lake is the Crater Lake Game Sanctuary. This is a
small private sanctuary centred around a volcanic crater lake with
spectacular green water. The lake attracts many flamingo, and the
surrounding forests and plains have plenty of game. This is a good place
to explore on foot.
Here the avid bird watcher sees paradise in a vast array of exotic bird
life. The lake region is host to distinctive herds of plains game and the
elusive, black faced colobus monkey.

magnificence at its peak, set in its own 18,000 acre Oserian
Wildlife Sanctuary overlooking the dramatic backdrop of the Rift
Valley and the Mau escarpment.
The lodge, set in the privately owned Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary, is an

This setting epitomises the Masai translation of the word Oserian as being
a “place of peace”.

Walking around Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary’s lake frontage allows
Ornitholigist’s and Game Viewers to interact with the diverse range of
