Lake Naivasha is a haven for birds and hippos. We took a boat tour with an expert guide who put us right on the birds, over 40 species. Plus, we got a good look at several hippos. Then we went to Crescent Island and walked up the mild hill to see giraffe, antelope, warthogs, wildebeest and more, plus grand views of the surrounding area. On top of that, the weather was perfect, so we couldn't have had a nicer trip.

AfricanMecca Safari scheduled the most wonderful safari I ever had. AfricanMecca Safari is very accommodating to your individual plans and schedule. I had a wonderful trip. Everything was perfectly organized by AfricanMecca Safaris to my entire satisfaction. This trip not only met my expectations, but was even better than expected. I stayed at the Little Governors' Camp. I loved the personalized attention, the tents, the food, the service. Everything was fabulous. Above all, of course, were the safari rides. My driver and guide was Joseph who was awesome. I was able to obtain very close photographs and videos of many animals. The highlight of this trip was watching the Great Wildebeest Migration. We could see the first crossing of the Mara River in 2018 taking place right in front of our eyes. We were the third Jeep to arrive to the scene, so we had an excellent viewpoint. Thousands and thousands of wildebeest, and many zebras kept crossing the river. We were there watching one of the best wonders of nature during almost 2 hours. Unbelievable! Unforgettable! Awesome! I highly recommend visiting the Masai Mara National Reserve which is is best place to watch the Great Wildebeest Migration with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

The lake and boat Tour are a must to do. The lake is connected to lake naivesha due to high water Level for some years now. Although Flamingos vanished a phantastisch range of birds can be observed. From eagle to pelican. Dead trees in the lake and several Families of hippos make it a magic place!! Monkeys giraffes Zebra etc can be spotted on the land. Ask for Steven to hire the boat. He knows Everything!!! Hanna and Michael
