Crater Lake Sanctuary Lake Naivasha boat ride 1 day tour is a day excursion from Nairobi to Crater Lake Conservancy located 10 km’s from Naivasha town and about 90 km’s from Nairobi.

The tour includes activities such as game drives in Crater Lake Game Sanctuary, visit to Lake Olodien home to large numbers of flamingoes, lunch at Elsamere – home to the late Joy and George Adamson and an hour-long boat ride on Lake Naivasha.

0700 Hours: Our lake Naivasha day tour begins by a pick-up from your hotel/ residence and journeys to the Rift Valley town of Naivasha.

0800 Hours: En-route we will stop at the Great Rift Valley view point to enjoy the magnificent views of the Rift valley, Mt Longonot and Lake Naivasha at a distance.

Our journey continues to Naivasha past the flower farms to Lake Olodien. Lake Olodien was once part of Lake Naivasha, but because of reducing water levels over the years, land has now appeared between the two lakes.

At times it has also become home to large numbers of flamingoes who have migrated from Lake Nakuru (because of reduced water and algae levels). From the shore, you can often see hippo and a large flock of cormorants which are protected there.

Proceed to Crater Lake Conservancy where you can walk to the rim of this beautiful small volcanic crater for views down to the emerald-green Crater Lake. At times, flamingo populations have boomed, having also migrated from Lake Nakuru to take up residence here.

With your guide you can walk through the conservancy area spotting wildlife such as giraffe, zebra, eland and gazelle, while admiring the various species of plants and spotting some of the 400 species of birds reported in this area.

1230 Hours: Later we proceed for lunch at Elsamere – the former home of the late Joy and George Adamson, of Born Free fame. After a sumptuous lunch, relax in the beautiful gardens overlooking the lake.

You can also take a nature walk in the gardens to look for bird and plant species found at Elsamere Conservation Centre or watch a video about the Adamsons’ and their conservancy work, and see artifacts and paintings in their museum.

1500 Hours: Proceed for a boat ride on Lake Naivasha. The boat ride offers a great opportunity to get close to Cormorants drying their wings, Pink Backed Pelicans, Herons, colorful Kingfishers and Fish Eagles.

Other birds seen around the lake include the Goliath Heron, Jacana, Great White Egret, White Fronted Bee-eater and the Saddle- billed Stork.

1630 Hours: Late afternoon, return to Nairobi.
