Lake Naivasha, located in the Great Rift Valley, is a picturesque freshwater lake surrounded by a rich ecosystem. Situated approximately 90 km from Nairobi, the lake is a renowned destination for birdwatching, boat tours, and nature enthusiasts. Spanning 139 square kilometres, the lake is a significant habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including hippos, zebras, giraffes, and over 400 species of birds.
Lake Naivasha is one of the few places in Kenya where visitors can enjoy both land and water-based activities, making it a unique destination for adventure and leisure.
The Best Time to Visit Lake Naivasha is during the dry seasons from June to September and December to March. During these months, the weather is perfect for outdoor activities, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. Wildlife sightings are also abundant as animals are drawn to the lake for water.
The wet season from April to May can make some areas muddy and difficult to access, so it’s best to avoid these months if you want to explore the lake and its surroundings fully. However, birdwatchers may find the wet season an excellent time for spotting migratory birds.
Explore the lake by boat to see hippos, birds, and beautiful landscapes up close.

Mythical Katana is truly mythical. I went to Kenya in January 2025 and did all the excursions with the very good Katana. I recommend him, he is a guarantee, very professional and allows you to do everything in maximum safety.
Our trip to Kenya was the fulfillment of my dream, as the best guide of the LEGENDARY KATANA. Knowing a place means not only visiting tourist places, but knowing people and culture. Katana was with us all the time, he took us to a beach to sip a beer at sunset, to a local disco; what else can I say if not ASANTE SANA.
The quality of service was exceptional, with expert guides like Katana sharing his knowledge of the safari areas, showing us a variety of animals, including lions, giraffes and hippos!
Katana is a unique person!! Available for everything and attentive to satisfy your every request, fantastic excursions and above expectations! Highly recommended!!!
Katana a name a guarantee! He accompanied us on this trip making us know the real Kenya we did all the excursions with him without a doubt the best! Serious, human, reliable, sunny, nice and very easy-going person for us now a brother! Thanks Katana you are unique!
