This antique post card features an image from an early 1900’s photo of Lake Naivasha. This unique lake stands as Kenya's only freshwater lake within the Great Rift Valley, positioned at 1,884 meters above sea level and just 90 kilometers northwest of Nairobi. This geographical uniqueness makes it a fascinating anomaly – while most Rift Valley lakes are alkaline due to volcanic activity and mineral deposits, Naivasha maintains its freshwater status through underground outflow and natural sedimentation processes.
This postcard came from a family collection of photos from their time living there in the 1900’s.
