Lake Naivasha National Park

Lake Naivasha National Park is a hallmark safari destination, located a few kilometers away from Naivasha town in Nakuru County and in the northwest of Nairobi City. Lake Naivasha acts as one of the great rift valley lakes found in Kenya and lies at the highest elevation, measuring 1,884 meters in a combination of volcanic rocks and sedimentary deposits that flows from a large Pleistocene Era Lake.

Besides being water streams, the lake is fed to other closer river; River Maleewa and Gilgil rivers. The main point is that, Lake Naivasha water is fresh and safe, assuming it’s an underground outflow. More so, the park is cantered in the fresh water lake at the bottom in the center of the park. The word Lake Naivasha means ‘’rough water’’ by the Maasai locals who live around the park.  It is also among the few fresh water lakes found in Kenya and sits a few kilometers away from the town of Naivasha.
