Lake Naivasha, located just 90 minutes from Nairobi, is one of Kenya’s most beautiful freshwater lakes — and a paradise for bird lovers, nature walkers, and wildlife enthusiasts. At Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya, we offer guided day tours and overnight trips that make the most of Lake Naivasha’s hidden gems. Here are the top 5 must-do activities that you can enjoy on your next trip.

1. Boat Safari on Lake Naivasha

Hop aboard a boat and glide across the calm waters of Lake Naivasha, where you’ll see pods of hippos up close and witness fish eagles diving for their catch. This relaxing cruise is a perfect introduction to Kenya’s lake ecosystem, with excellent photo opportunities and birdwatching galore.

2. Walking Safari at Crescent Island

Crescent Island Game Sanctuary is one of the few places in Kenya where you can walk among giraffes, zebras, and antelope in complete safety. No predators roam here, making it ideal for families, photographers, and anyone looking to truly connect with wildlife on foot.

Cycle or hike through the dramatic landscape where scenes from *The Lion King* were inspired, and enjoy thrilling adventures like rock climbing and canyon exploration.

4. Bird Watching Heaven

Lake Naivasha is home to over 400 species of birds, including the iconic African fish eagle, kingfishers, herons, and flamingoes. Whether you’re a serious birder or just enjoy vibrant wildlife, this lake never disappoints.
