 What should one carry for the boat safari?

Remember to take come along with a sun hat, sun glasses and sunscreen because it may be a little sunny for you. You may need to where a cotton shirt to keep cool in the heat and cover your arms to avoid a sun burn. You will need to dress in simple long trousers so that you are guarded from mosquito bites, however, it must be foldable in case you are required to wade through water. Carry with you waterproof shoes or flip flops because they may get wet as you move along the lakeside. Carry your binoculars and a zoom lens because you may have to view some species from a far. You can also enjoy a wildlife safari in Kenya during your visit to Lake Naivasha since the Lake is situated inside the park. It is very interesting to enjoy several memorable activities in one place; a Kenya wildlife safari, a birding safari in Kenya, a natural walk and a boat cruise safari along the lake.
