SANCTUARY SHOTS 57 (1)

Boat Ride

Discover Lake Naivasha from the water with a guided boat ride starting directly at Sanctuary Farm. Our trips take you through calm shallows and open waters, offering a front-row seat to Kenya’s rich birdlife and wildlife.

Glide past pods of hippos, watch fish eagles swoop for their catch, and spot giraffes, zebra, and antelope grazing along the shores. Pelicans, cormorants, and kingfishers add to the spectacle, making this one of the most memorable experiences in Naivasha.

Our boats are equipped with life-jackets and seat up to six people, led by experienced local captains trained in wildlife guiding. For families, couples, and groups, this is the perfect way to connect with nature while enjoying safe, comfortable travel on the lake.

Guests also have the option of being dropped at Crescent Island for a walking safari and collected later by boat: an easy and unique way to explore.

 

Cost per boat per hour: KES 4000 ($31)

6 PAX per boat. Includes captain, fuel, and life jackets. No reservation required
