Lake Naivasha

I left Nairobi and drove north west to Lake Naivasha. The road reached the edge of the Great African Rift Valley with views from the top of the cliff across the valley floor.

The snaked its way diagonally across the steep slope to get to the valley floor.

There are several dormant volcanoes along the edge of the fault line.

My next camp site was on the shores of Lake Naivasha with a bar and restaurant set in the trees near the shore.

Everyone has to be careful about what they leave out as the monkeys will steal anything.

The next day I went to Elsamere, the home of Joy Adamson of Born Free fame. This is the Land Rover that George Adamson was murdered in by poachers.

 There is an arboretum and botanical gardens that surround the house.

 The site overlooks Lake Naivasha and is in a beautiful location but you must exercise caution as their are hippos and crocodiles.
