After an overnight in Lake Nakuru, we travel to Lake Naivasha – a freshwater lake with a picturesque view of Mount Longonot, located 80 km from Lake Nakuru. Lake Naivasha has many different types of wildlife with a good portion of hippos and fish including Crayfish, Tilapia, and Black bass.
This beautiful lake is home to exceptional numbers of water birds. There are 400 species of birds of which Great Cormorants, Long-tailed, Fish Eagles, Pelicans, and all types of Kingfishers, as well as the Grey-backed fiscal, are some.
