Lake Naivasha is a wonderful sanctuary to visit while your safari in Kenya. Papyrus swamps, acacia trees, forests, and unusual geologic features that are relics of the area’s volcanic history exist just beyond its beaches. An abundance of water, notably the Gilgil and Malewa Rivers, fertilizes the nutrient-rich soil, resulting in an environment recognized across the world for its diversified bird population as well as terrestrial game species. More than 450 different bird species have been documented, and migratory species join the local avifauna from October to March. Spectacled weavers, red-billed fire finches, grey-backed fiscals, grey-capped warblers, and other unique and colorful flying animals may be seen around the lake, steep cliffs, and woodlands. Cormorants and pelicans are the most visible, while African fish eagles are the most magnificent of the raptors. Hawks, cuckoos, woodpeckers, shrikes, and other birds may be seen as you go through the acacia woods, and a lone giraffe may peep through the thorn leaves branches out of curiosity.
