Kayaking on Lake Naivasha among the hippo pods at a safe distance, and on the Nile above Murchison. Quiet, low to the water, and far closer to the birdlife.
Each of these is somewhere we run kayaking, with its own page.
Kenya
Naivasha is the freshwater lake in the floor of the Rift Valley, ninety minutes from Nairobi. You get out of the vehicle here: a boat among the hippos, a walk or a cycle on Crescent Island among giraffe and zebra with no predators to worry about. It is the day that breaks up a driving safari.
Uganda
A small reserve on the Katonga river, between Kampala and the western parks, where the wildlife viewing is done from a canoe or on foot rather than from a vehicle. Sitatunga — the swamp antelope with splayed hooves — are the draw, and they are difficult to see anywhere else.
Prices are per person. Any of these can be adjusted to give the activity more time.
