Lake Naivasha is called Na’iposha by the locals, which means ‘wild waters’ and this is one of the two freshwater lakes in the Rift Valley. Early in the 20s the lake was all dried up, only to be brought back to life years later by heavy rains a couple of years later. While the lake looks peaceful and tranquil, the water can change into hefty and dramatic waves late afternoon when it rains heavily.
The lake is surrounded by Yellow fever trees, that attract many animals. There is a big diversity in animals because of the lake being there. Giraffe, buffalo, hippo come to drink and of course the latter actually live in the lake. There are more than 400 species of birds living in the area: birders paradise!
