A freshwater lake on the Great Rift Valley floor, Lake Naivasha offers a gentler kind of safari. Glide past hippos on a boat ride, walk among giraffes and zebras on Crescent Island, and watch fish eagles swoop over the water. With peaceful lakeside lodges and easy access from Nairobi, it makes a perfect first stop or a relaxing break between parks.
