Lake Naivasha is surrounded by forests of the yellow barked
Acacia (the yellow fever tree) which abound with bird life while
the waters of the lake draw a great range of game to these

swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the
Lakes large hippo populations sleep the day out in the shallows.
