Lake Jipe

Located at the southwestern tip of the Tsavo National Park, Lake Jipe is framed by tall reeds, with plenty of hippo, elephant and birdlife painting its shallow waters. The lake is one of Kenya’s most important wetlands, providing refuge for numerous water and marsh birds. It also unfortunately attracts a terrifying number of mosquitoes and lake flies. There is a motor boat for hire at the gate, or you could do it the local way and hire a dug out from the local fishermen in the village two kilometres from here.
