Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha, in Nakuru County, Kenya, brings water to the safari equation — birdlife in extraordinary density, hippos announcing themselves at dusk, and boat safaris that change the angle on everything.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Kenya: The original safari, still magnificent. Most travelers weave Lake Naivasha into a longer route taking in Masai Mara, Amboseli elephants and Rift Valley lakes.

The operators on SafariSuite run Lake Naivasha regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
