But those who have done it will tell you something different. A boat safari on Lake Naivasha is, for many visitors, the\u00a0single most memorable wildlife experience of their entire Kenya trip\u00a0\u2014 ahead of the Masai Mara, ahead of Amboseli, ahead of everything.

It combines the elements of a traditional African safari \u2014 expert guides, close wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes \u2014 with the unique perspective of being on the water. Unlike a game drive where you are watching animals from a distance through windows or a vehicle roof, a\u00a0Lake Naivasha boat safari\u00a0places you within the same ecosystem as the wildlife. You share the water with hippos. Fish eagles circle just overhead. Cormorants dry their wings on floating logs a few meters away. It is intimate in a way that land safaris rarely are. What Wildlife Will I See on a Boat Safari in Naivasha? Hippos \u2014 The Star of the Show This is the defining activity in Naivasha.
