Lake Naivasha Archives - Dream Voyage Safaris

A haven for birders, Lake Naivasha lies at the highest point of the Great Rift Valley. More than 400 species of birds have been spotted here, including African fish eagles, jacanas, white-fronted bee-eaters, and several species of kingfishers.

One of the best ways to view the wildlife is by boat. Hippos slosh in the water, and giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and eland graze around the edges of the lake. Keep a lookout for colobus monkeys in the canopies, too.

Near Lake Naivasha, the Crater Lake Game Sanctuary features a wildlife-rich nature trail.

Just south of Lake Naivasha, the relatively affordable Hell’s Gate National Park protects a wide variety of wildlife and offers excellent climbing opportunities, with two extinct volcanoes and the red cliffs of Hell’s Gate Gorge.

On the southern shore of Lake Naivasha, you can pop in for a cup of tea at the Elsamere Conservation Centre, the former home of the late Joy Adamson, author of Born Free, and her husband George.

Note that Lake Naivasha has been known to shrink considerably in times of extreme drought, and a flourishing floriculture industry in the area is also impacting water levels and quality. But the lake is typically lush and full of life.

Visit the iconic Masai village

Arguably the most iconic tribal group in all of Africa, Maasai, who populate vast areas of Southern areas of Kenya are the dominant ethnic group surrounding the Masai Mara.
This one hour visit to a Maasai village is a chance to interact with the Maasai and get a glimpse into their culture, unique way of life and see first hand some of their customs and practices.

The Maasai village visit is typically an excursion included into a longer multi day Masai Mara safari tour, and couple of hours are set apart for this brief interactive visit to the village, which usually happens to be on the fringes of the main Mara game reserve boundaries.

Wildlife safari

There’s nothing more famous about Kenya than going on a safari to one of the many national parks or reserves located throughout the country.
The most famous wildlife viewing sanctuaries include Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Tsavo East.
For many, the goal is to catch a glimpse of the African Big 5, which includes lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhino.
The smaller ones are better visible using magnifying devices. A monocular like the Scout TK will do for a good 200 yards visibility.
Safaris can be on the expensive side, but going on a safari and observing African animals in their natural habitat is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Witness the great wildebeest migration

The Maasai Mara game reserve in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania share the annual Wildebeest migration.
The captivating event is one of the few natural land migrations that remains intact in the world today.
Every year, 1.5 million wildebeests and zebra migrate overland in search of food and water.
The event takes place between July and August, depending on the rainy season

7 Days Kenya safari Maasai mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli park. We had an amazing safari with Dream voyage safaris August 29 - Sept 05 2023 7 Days. The marketing agent was very responsive to our questions during the planning process, booking and during the safari. We had the opportunity to visit Masai mara 3 Days, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha 2 Days and Amboseli National park 2 Days 7 Days on Safari we really loved the choice of accomodation Mid Luxury lodges all through inside the parks where game drives were just a few minutes from the accomodation provided. We stayed at Keekorok lodge in Masai Mara, Sarova lionhill in Nakuru and Serena lodge in Amboseli National park the facilities had the best setting, food, excellent staff and nice warmly decorative rooms we always felt at home. We were provided with a nice landcruiser which was comfy with canvas windows instead of the glass one which was really nice for wildlife photography and wildlife viewing opportunity. Thank you very Much Moses for helping us plan our first Safari in Africa and hopefully not that Last. Highly recommend this Safari operator

Group Joining safari 6 Days August 2023 We did a 5 nights 6 Days group safari tour in Kenya for the Migration in August, we visited Masai mara for 3 Days, Lake Nakuru for 1 Day and Lake Naivasha/Hells gate for 2 Days, We were paired with a group from Italy which made the whole trip to be so amazing, saw alot of animals including lions, Elephants, Rhinos, Flamingoes and the highlight of the trip was the Migration and Mara river crossing though we had to wait for almost 5 hours in the banks of the river waiting for the Wildebeest to cross. We also had a chance to visit a masai village on our departure from Masai mara and learnt alot from the beautiful masai people. Camp life was amazing every day in Masai mara ended with a camp fire and dances from a group of Masai men, Kennedy our driver and guide did an amazing job looking for animals sightings in a vast open plain with information about each animal we came across.. But there were simply to many people inside Masai mara when we visited as it was in the Migration season if you don't want the crowd visit during the low season. Good safari company and all the places we visited highly recommended

7 Days Safari and 4 Days Mombasa beach holiday We just come back from a 11 Days mid range safari in Kenya, 7 Days on Safari and 4 Days at the beach in Mombasa with Dream voyage safaris, it was a incredible safari from start to end, communication process was flawless, inquiry - booking - Safari was super easy. We arranged everything with Moses M who was always available for our messages on Whatsapp, despite late booking and all the lodges and Hotels we wanted unavailable he suggested a few others we were little hesitant in the first place but as we had booked our flights we had no otherwise but later we loved all the accomodation provided, Emayian luxury camp - Masai mara, Ziwa bush camp - Lake Nakuru, Amboseli Little camp and Severin sea lodge Mombasa. Our Driver Ken had vast information of all the places we visited being a Maasai he was very knowledgeable of all the animals and land, we saw all the animals we had in mind and the migration and visit to Masai villages in Amboseli and Masai mara for dances and to purchase souvenirs Most of the places had good roads tarmacked with modern facilities but inside the parks its dirt road. Kenyan safari met all our expectations, Thanks to Moses and their Driver Ken, we recommend this safari company to anyone interested in visiting Kenya for safari adventures.

7 Days in Kenya for Safari Chatterji and Family Happy for the reviews i saw here for Dream safaris in Kenya, i was looking for a week safari in Kenya i contacted several Safari operaters in Kenya and i received several quotes for our Safari after going through them i decided to use this company as they offered the best Lodges choices with average cost, the review were very helpful in helping narrowing down to a company to use. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru/Naivasha and finally Massai mara in the 7 Days we were in Kenya, we stayed with our guide all through and he was very helpful picked us on time and dropped us on time at JKIA Airport for our flight back home. Moses From Dream safaris was very helpful in Planning our safari, he was knowledgable about Kenya and all the destinations always available for Inquiries despite the time difference between our time and the time in Kenya. Thanks alot and i highly reccomend this company for safaris in Kenya.

Excellent 👍 Kenya safari by Dream Voyage safaris Just got back home from 7 nights kenya safari, Used Kenya airways from New York to kenya and back, first flights was fine we arrived in time but on return the flight was delayed for more than 6 hour but their services, in-flight entertainment and food were fine. We stayed first night at Wildebeast Eco camp in Karen area of Nairobi, beautiful and classic tented camp in Nairobi staying here you get the Safari feeling of staying in a ten accomodation. Flew to Amboseli where we stayed at Kibo safari camp for 3 nights, a lovely camp with nice views of the Kilimanjaro mountain within Amboseli Parks, Then flew directly to Masai mara from Amboseli where we stayed at Mara Serena lodge for 3 nights had game drives in Mara triangle area the best part to see animals in a place where game drives are controlled and only a limited number of vehicles are allowed We used driver guides from the places we were staying in shared land cruisers with other guests from the camp, sometimes we were 7 somedays only the 3 of us but we really enjoyed our safari in Kenya.

7 Days Kenya safari Amboseli & Tsavo We booked this Safari in end March for our 7 Days safari in Kenya which was an amazing experience! Arrived via Turkish airlines in Nairobi at around 4 am the team had organized a taxi for us from the Airport to Hotel. Day 1 was spent in the city with visits to Nairobi national park, Giraffe centre and Sheldrick baby Elephant orphanage later returned to Hotel for dinner and overnight. Day 2, 3 and 4 was spent in the foot of lovely Mount Kilimanjaro with drives for game viewing in Amboseli national park, lot's and lots of Elephants in the park plus so many other animals and birds including 3 huge male Lions, on our 3 Days in Amboseli we only saw the kilimanjaro mountain once for several hours early morning, most of the time it was covered in clouds. Day 5 and 6 was spent in Sarova saltlick lodge in Tsavo areas this was a lovely lodge built high overlooking a waterhole where wildlife frequent to drink. Later we visited Taita hill wildlife conservancy and Tsavo west for game drives still so many Elephants grazers and lions that were just snoozing on a bush, waited for some action but never happened. On a night safari organized by the lodge we were lucky to spot 2 leopards on honeymoon and several other animals that are active at night (paid extra for this) Day 7 after breakfast we spent about 3 hours on a small game drive inside the conservancy for what we could have missed later returned to Lodge for early Lunch checked out and returned to Nairobi where our safari ended. Wonderful safari, the best accomodation Choice (had to pay extra to upgrade to 5* lodges) , beautiful safari landcruiser and excellent driver guide. Hopefully we will return soon for another safari.
