The name "Naivasha" comes from a Maasai word meaning "rough water," due to the sudden storms that can occur. The lake is surrounded by swamps and papyrus. Explore its wonders with a boat ride on this freshwater lake, where fishermen and fish eagles compete for fish. You will also search for the large families of hippos that live in the lake, followed by a walk on Crescent Island.
