The Experience
Boat safaris in Kenya offer a different perspective of the area, in particular of wildlife in the water like hippos, waterbucks, birdlife and more.
A Bird-Watcher’s Paradise
Enjoy a game drive on the water to get a closer look at some water-based wildlife, like the majestic hippo stretching its mouth wide open and revealing its terrifying set of premolars. The area is particularly well-known for its rich birdlife, especially the fantastic pink plumage of the flamingos flocking to Lake Nakuru.
This adventure is perfect for wildlife photographers and bird-watching enthusiasts in particular. As the first national park declared an Important Bird Area (IBA) and Endemic Bird Area (EBA), you’ll be in seventh heaven as you float along the lake with something new catching your eye every couple of minutes.
Seize the Day on Our Seaduction Boat
We have two boat options for you to choose from, our Seaduction eight-seater boat or our Kingfisher boat that’s specialised for photography with swivel chairs and gimbals.
Our boat, called Seaduction, is designed for anyone who wants to see as much as possible from a comfortable padded seat with a backrest. It’s the perfect boat for a photo safari and bird-watching tour.
We have set departure times throughout the year and only take eight passengers at a time to ensure an uncrowded sighting experience.
The trip is headed up by our Lake Nakuru resident naturalist, who has plenty of knowledge about the area and its wildlife to share. You can also book the boat for exclusive use and enjoy a half-day safari out on the water.
If you opt for the morning cruise, breakfast and sparkling wine will be served to accompany the incredible views. The afternoon sundowner experience is enjoye

The Kingfisher is designed with the photographer in mind, with specialised features customised for making your experience easier. And to get better photos, of course!

Furthermore, it has been fitted with gimbals for smooth footage and crisp captures, allowing for a wide range of shots. Each seat is mounted on two rails that are easily adjustable and equipped with mounting for resting professional cameras and taking the load off your shoulders.
You can mount your equipment on adjustable photo brackets and gimbals suited for any camera and telephoto lens type. Furthermore, our expert guides can give you a hand to help you get the optimal photographs. You can also book this boat for half or full-day safaris.
