In reply to Behzad. Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha are part of the rift valley lakes they differ in that despite both being lakes, lake Nakuru National Park plays host to rhinos, which are not common in most national parks and the wonderful Lake Nakuru has flamingoes while Lake Naivasha is where you can get to do a boat safari and get to the crescent island which is on lake Naivasha, on the crescent island and get to walk alongside the resident giraffes, zebras, hells gate national park which is found in Naivasha you get to enjoy cycling in the gorge. For relaxation you can choose Lake Naivasha as most time can be spent exploring on foot rather than the typical game drive

Dear Esther
Thank you for your good website and sharing your experiences. I am planing a trip to Kenya and I used a lot from this page.
According to my time and budget, I am going to take a safari in Masai mara and choosing on of the lake Nakuru or Naivasha. According to your experience, which one is better in terms of view,sightseeing and which one is better for relaxation?
Is there is there a boat riding option in Nakuru?
Thanks a lot

In reply to Kaylini Naidoo. Thank you for your kind words Kaylini. It's unfortunate that you weren't able to go on any safaris but hopefully, in the future, you'll be able to enjoy the amazing safaris in Africa.

Thanks for this great checklist. Although I’m originally from South Africa I can sadly say I’ve never been on a safari. Very disappointing I did go to Addo elephant park many years ago but I know realise living abroad how much I should’ve taken advantage of the great animal beauty on my doorstep. Definitely keen to visit North Africa for some incredible safaris in the future.
