A safari usually involves a lot of sitting in a safari jeep, but at Lake Naivasha you get the chance to stretch your legs. The shores of the lake are hilly and green and form the perfect backdrop for a walking safari. During this hike of a few hours you might run into hippos, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, waterbucks and other animals. Sometimes it’s even possible to get quite close to for example the giraffes. Once you reach the top of a hill you’ll get rewarded with a beautiful view over the glistening lake below.
