NAIROBI LAKES - WET, WILD & WONDERFUL!!! - By GARETH JONES Let us just imagine for a moment …We parked near the main gate with a new sign that stated “WELCOME TO NAIROBI LAKES NATIONAL PARK”, and prepared to pay our park entrance fee. The KWS official politely asked me, "are you hiring a motorboat or a canoe?". We went for the canoe option even though it is slower, it is very quiet and allows closer viewing of species with better photos when approaching the many islands in the park.
