Description

Begin with a morning pickup from Nairobi and drive to a wildlife sanctuary near Lake Naivasha.

Ride quietly alongside animals, allowing for close, non-intrusive encounters and excellent photography opportunities. No prior riding experience is required; the activity is suitable for beginners and led by professional guides. Next, transfer to Lake Naivasha for a guided boat ride on the freshwater lake. Cruise close to the shoreline and hippo territories, offering excellent up-close views of hippos in the water, often seen yawning, surfacing, and interacting in pods. The lake is also rich in birdlife, including African fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, and cormorants. The boat ride provides calm, safe, and memorable wildlife viewing, along with scenic views of the Rift Valley escarpment.
