Quick facts about Lake Naivasha

• The name comes from a Maasai phrase “nai posha” which translates to “a place of rough waters” because of the sudden storms that can arise.
• It is located 90 km northwest of the capital city Nairobi.
• The lake has many different types of wildlife comprising hippos and fish (tilapia, black bass, and crayfish).
• The lake also supports a fair amount of indigenous wildlife: waterbuck, giraffe, and hippo can easily be seen almost anywhere on the lakeshore.
• There are close to 500 bird species including African Fish Eagles, Kingfishers, great cormorants, grey-backed fiscal, yellow-collared lovebirds, and the great white pelicans which are among the most decorative and common woodland species. This is the best and most rewarding bird site in Kenya.
• Furthermore, the nearby Mount Longonot offers a great hiking experience which can be ascended and descended and takes around 3 hours.
• A visit to Crescent Island (a small private nature reserve) is worth a visit, where you can be able to spot zebras, wildebeest, impalas, and giraffes on foot as you take part in a walking safari.
• It’s an ideal stopover on long journeys especially from one tourist attraction site to the next
