Fisherman's Camp
Bedste tid at besøge
Dry months from June to October and January to February deliver sunny, wind-softened days; arrive by mid-morning when hippos still wallow in view and boat traffic is thin.
Budgettips
Day visitors pay roughly 500 Kenyan shillings (about $4), while self-catering campsites run about 1,000 shillings per person. Stock up on water and snacks in Naivasha town first, where prices run about half of what the camp shop charges.
Anbefalet til

Om
Hurtige fakta: Cirka et halvt ton per flodhest, og hver nat hiver de sig selv op af søen for at græsse på de samme plæner, hvor safaritelte sover. Mere end 400 fuglearter kredser om denne ferskvandsbred, og lejren opvarmer sine brusere med solpaneler i stedet for dieselgeneratorer.
Højdepunkter: Efter mørkets frembrud græsser flodheste på et halvt ton inden for få meter af dit telt, og deres grynten og tyggen bærer lige igennem lærredet. En nattevagt eskorterer enhver sovende forbi flokken og lyser med en lommelygte hen over åbent græs uden hegn imellem, kun våd plæne, der løber ned til vandkanten.
Insidertips
- Pack a headlamp and stick to the lit paths once the sun drops, because hippos own the lawns after dark.
- Book the dawn boat crossing to Crescent Island's heronry, when cormorants and ibis swarm in the hundreds.
- Skip weekends and Kenyan school holidays, when Nairobi day-trippers pack the lawn; midweek afternoons feel almost empty.
- Bring warm layers even in dry season, since the lake breeze turns sharp the moment the sun slips behind Mau Escarpment.
