Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake in Kenya, located approximately 90 kilometers (56 miles) northwest of Nairobi. The lake is part of the Great Rift Valley and is surrounded by lush vegetation and scenic landscapes.
Lake Naivasha is a popular destination for bird watching, as it is home to over 400 bird species, including African fish eagles, pelicans, and flamingos. Visitors can take boat tours around the lake to observe the diverse birdlife and also spot some of the resident hippopotamuses and other wildlife that roam around the lake's shoreline.
The lake is also a popular spot for fishing, with tilapia and black bass being the most common catches. Visitors can also take hikes along the nearby Hell's Gate National Park and explore the scenic landscapes, hot springs, and wildlife found within the park.
The best time to visit Lake Naivasha is during the dry season, which runs from June to September, and January to February. During these months, the weather is mild and dry, and the skies are clear, making it easier to spot wildlife and enjoy outdoor activities.
