These motor boats will move from one place to the next in search of good catch. You can book a full day or half day fishing trip from Nairobi. Packed lunch is taken while on the boat to maximize time for fishing in the lake. Be sure to come with a straw hat, some sun screen and insect repellant. I have had very good success in catching 2 feet long cat fish, a foot and a half carps and 1 foot long tilapia or bigger. The weather is subject to change on the lake in the afternoon and it becomes abit rough. So it’s advisable to arrive very early at the lake to start fishing when the lake is calm. Lake Naivasha 1 day fishing trip is an awesome escape for a day of quiet angling off a boat.
