Kenya: Nairobi to Lake Naivasha (2nd of 8 posts)
If you leave Nairobi driving West, even fairly late in the morning, there are plenty of good things to see on the way to Naivasha and along the south shore of that Lake.
We visited two small road-side wetlands and then after lunch headed to the Hippo Camp area on Lake Naivasha. Walking carefully alongside the road you can see a lot of wildlife here and you do not need to enter the camping compound if you do not want to go to the lake-side. We did not enter the lake from here but chose to go to Fishermen's Camp instead. Fisherman's camp is popular among Kenyans and students. We met Francis, the local bird guide, who showed us around for a bit until it got too windy. After this we drove north towards Nakuru for our first night in Kenya.
Fabulous first day on the road.
