Lake Naivasha Boat Rides

Lake Naivasha Open daily

A guided boat ride on Lake Naivasha takes families gliding past pods of hippos, basking on the shallows, while fish eagles swoop for the guide's thrown fish. The freshwater lake is ringed by acacia and papyrus and teems with birdlife, making every trip a mini wildlife show. It's one of the most accessible water adventures near Nairobi.

Good to know: Book a licensed operator with life jackets, and keep a safe distance from hippos.
