Overview Description

Crater Lake Game Sanctuary Naivasha 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 Masai, 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.
