LAKE NAIVASHA BIRDING TOUR
We shall depart early for Lake Naivasha with birding on the way. We shall arrive in time for a boat ride of this magical lake that has some uniquely high altitude. We expect to find many birds on the boat ride. We shall then enjoy lunch here. We shall enjoy more birds along the lake shore and also visit local woodland habitat to enjoy terrestrial species.
Later, we start heading back to Nairobi with more birding on the way. In the late afternoon, we shall arrive in Nairobi, marking the end to our Lake Naivasha Birding Tour.
