Lake
Naivasha and its surrounds are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile
soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya's prime agricultural
regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow barked
Acacia Xanthophlea, known as the yellow fever tree. These forests abound
with bird life, and Naivasha is known as a world-class birding
destination.
Bar/Lounge at Lake Naivasha
The waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these shores.
Giraffes wander among the acacia, Buffalo wallow in the swamps and
Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the large Hippo population
sleeps the day out in the shallows of the lake.
This
natural wilderness is the habitat of the "Big Five" plus a
spectacular variety of birds. There is no finer place for your own
personal "African Experience" than the Masai Mara National
Game Reserve, part of the great Mara-Serengeti ecosystem, renowned for
the abundance of its wildlife.
