Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha

A freshwater lake in Kenya, outside the town of Naivasha in Nakuru County, which lies north west of Nairobi. It is part of the Great Rift Valley. The name derives from the local Maasai name Nai’posha, meaning “rough water” because of the sudden storms which can arise. It is broad but shallow freshwater lake,  a family friendly playground perfect for boating or walking safaris on Crescent Island, a private game reserve populated by herbivores.
