KENYA SAFARI BOOKING
CRATER LAKE WALKING SAFARIS (
LAKE NAIVASHA) KENYA
Crater Lake Game Sanctuary is a green soda lake at the
bottom of an extinct volcano on the
western side of Lake Naivasha and north of the village of
Kongoni, with many trails including
one for hikers along the steep but diminutive crater rim.
Crater Lake Game Sanctuary nature
trails lead through the vegetation around the crater with
plenty of wildlife including over 170
species of birds. Besides the impressive 170 bird species
recorded here, giraffes, zebras and other
plains wildlife are also regular residents. While walking,
remember that buffaloes lurk in the
woods.
Crater Lake Game Sanctuary is less than one hour drive from
Naivasha, partly over a very dusty
dirt road. Like Hell’s Gate National Park it is allowed to
explore this Park on foot. The tiny jade-
green crater lake is held in high regard by the local Maasai,
who even believe its water helps
soothe ailing cattle. The volcanic crater is also home to
Colobus monkeys and flamingos. Tucked
away in a hidden corner of Kenya's Great Rift Valley is
Crater Lake Camp. Crater Lake Camp
offers a stirring encounter with wild Africa, just ninety
minute's drive from downtown Nairobi.
This magical lakeside camp is the perfect stopover en- route
to the Nakuru and the Masai Mara
game parks, as well as a romantic getaway by itself!
Crater Lake Game Sanctuary is 10,000 acres and houses the
famous hilltop grave where Happy
Valley's tragic heroine, Lady Diana Delamere, is buried with
her last two husbands, Gilbert
Colvile and Thomas Delamere. For the truly intrepid, there
are the mysterious 'Caves of God'
in the golden wheatfield's of Ndabibi, reputed to be an
inspiration for H. Rider Haggard's Allan
Quartermain.
