Just fifty five miles northwest of Nairobi is Lake Naivasha a link in the chain of Kenya’s beautiful rift valley lakes. Naivasha is a freshwater lake and is a bird lovers paradise with over 400 species including water pelicans, cormorants and the gracious African Fish Eagle whose call is as punctuated on the lake as a lions roar in the bush.
In the centre of the lake is Cresent Island which can be visited by short boat ride. The Island is a sanctuary for wildlife where you can stroll along the banks in the peaceful presence of small herds of mammals such as giraffe, antelope, gazelle, eland, zebra and lot of birds.
To the south of the lake is Hells Gate national park which is famous for its hot geysers and extinct volcanoes. Once a very hostile environment the park is now populated by a very diverse selection of animals such as buffalo, giraffe, eland, Coke's Hartebeest, lion, leopard and the occasional cheetah. Hells Gate is a natural magnet to ornithologists as it is the perfect breeding ground for vultures, Verreaux’s Eagles and Augur buzzards in addition to a further 100 species recorded in the park. The park scenery is beautiful and a day or two here in combination with Lake Naivasha works wonderfully.
The Rift Valley lakes and especially Lake Nakuru National Park is host to one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife scenes; the shimmering pink horizon of pink flamingos. In years gone by the flamingos have numbered into the millions however with ever changing conditions of the soda lake their numbers are now somewhat lower and they often relocate entirely and then return again without pattern. If you are fortunate to be at Lake Nakuru this sight is as stunning as it has always been.
Lake Nakuru was declared a national park in 1961. The 200 square kilometre park has a great diversity of vegetation with over 500 different plant species to warthog, waterbuck impala, buffalo, eland, lion, leopard Rothschild giraffe and black rhino which have been slowly multiplying over the years and are now protected.
