Detailed Itinerary
Our 1 day safari to Lake Naivasha (Naivasha Boat Cruise Safari) starts early in the morning at around 0830 pm with a pick-up from Nairobi after having your early morning breakfast. You will drive through the scenic environment in the rift valley as you learn more how the rift valley was formed and you will make a stop over here. At around 10 pm, you arrive at Naivasha Sopa lodge for a simple relaxation and then set off on your boat cruise on Lake Naivasha. The boat will last for about three to four hours, and you can as well do the fishing adventure on the lake, as you will see several hippos. Thousands of bird species are very interesting. You will visit the crescent island for your picnic lunch on the shores of Lake Naivasha at approximately 1: 30 pm, and then continue exploring the island to spot various animals such as giraffes, zebras, and gazelles in Lake Naivasha National Park. Walking around the island until 3:00 p.m., then return to the boat and go to the Elsamere Conservation Centre to learn more about the benefits of the conservation brought about by George and Joy Adamson’s conservation work and the lioness Elsa the Born Free. And after that, you will return and drive back to Nairobi.
Boat cruises on Lake Naivasha in the morning, midday, and late evening are very comforting, as well as the panoramic view is unlike any other. With different animals concentrating on the shores, you will get a chance to see several animals such as springboks, giraffes, cape buffaloes, colobus monkeys, and numerous birds. The boat will also lead you to the famous crescent island. A boat journey to the Crescent Islands, part of Lake Naivasha, is a worthwhile ride. Lake Naivasha helps you to enjoy the boat cruise through the open waters as you enjoy the beautiful scenery of several species. The boat can be hired with a driver guide, who is present from several places around the lake Naivasha accommodation. The boat cruise will bring you close to the bird species and the mammals around the water bodies.
A walk down the lake, or even resting and relaxing in one spot, can provide the birder with an abundance of sightings. A journey out onto the lake is even more spectacular. The lake is dotted with pelicans, and the papyrus is alive with kingfishers, herons, jacanas, and other birds, while Africa’s highest concentration of African Fish Eagles may be seen high in the trees above the lake. These colossal birds rule the skies above the lake, their eerie calls ringing over the shoreline as they dive to the surface and pluck fish from the water. Sunsets are usually spectacular, with the cry of a Fish Eagle high over the lake capping off the day perfectly.
