Hi Mohammad!
Lake Naivasha in Kenya definitely has LM Black Bass - the Northern strain, not Floridas, though - there are also the usual Bream/ Tilapia.
So you can catch Bass in Kenya! Lake Naivasha is the only place in Kenya with Bass ... but recent developments iro water quality and fish populations due to pesticides is not too encouraging: http://www.canadians.org/water/documents/NaivashaReport08.pdf

I would seriously urge you to look at Nile Perch when you in Kenya. Not sure about guides services in Kenya but if you hop to Tanzania or Uganda there is plenty guides around. Perch fishing is an experience of a lifetime, if you can take a trip to one of the rivers and go and catch them in running water awesome fight!! If you can get them out! Rapala Jerk Baits, fairly big size work well. Everytime I go to east Africa I make sure I book a trip to fish for Perch, worth every cent and not that expensive. I use my bass tackle to catch them with braid, tackle takes a hammering but does survive.
