| All told, NAIVASHA town has little to offer as a place to stay.
Unless you arrive late in the day, you may as well head straight on down
to the lake. Coming from Nairobi on the B3 old road (recently resurfaced),
you could ask to be dropped off at the lake road turning. If you're
hitching or coming by bus or matatu, you may arrive on the A104 Uplands
road and might be dropped inconveniently at the top junction, 1.5km
uphill behind the town. It's possible to catch a matatu or bus straight
down to the lake, but if you plan to spend any time in the area, you may
want to go into the town of Naivasha first to stock up on essentials.
Most travellers tend to do their own cooking, and the lakeside and town
together offer a wide choice. For food supplies , the fruit stalls on
the main road are good, though there is more choice at the covered
market. The oddly named Naivasha Mattresses Supermarket, at the upper
end of Biashara Road, is cheaper and has more variety than the Multiline
Supermarket. There's good lake fish at the kiosk opposite La Belle Inn
and, if you're driving, super-fresh milk and yoghurts at Delamere
Dairies, 3km north on the Nakuru road. There's a post office on Moi
Avenue (Mon-Fri 8am-1pm & 2-5pm, Sat 9am-noon) and two banks : Barclays
(with an ATM) and KCB, both on Moi Avenue (both Mon-Fri 9am-3pm, Sat
9-11am). |
