Amboseli to Lake Naivasha National Park
Embark on an early morning journey to Lake Naivasha, the highest and most picturesque of the Rift Valley lakes. Nestled at 1910m (6200ft), the freshwater lake is adorned with dense clusters of papyrus, once utilized by ancient Egyptians for paper production. The papyrus serves as a perch for kingfishers, while herons hide within it as they forage for food. Lake Naivasha is renowned for birdwatching, with over 400 species documented. A favored weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, it offers opportunities for sailing, water skiing, and fishing. Notably, the lake's cold altitude deters crocodiles, making it a safe haven for activities. However, hippos inhabit its waters. Along the lake shore, vineyards contribute to the country's emerging wine industry. Arrive in time for lunch and embark on an afternoon game drive.
