Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of Nairobi and dive into the heart of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley with this exhilarating day trip to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park. Experience the stunning beauty of vast landscapes, rich wildlife, and unforgettable adventures just a few hours away from the city. Start your day with a scenic drive to Lake Naivasha, a freshwater lake in the Rift Valley, where you’ll embark on a peaceful boat ride. Glide across the tranquil waters, spotting hippos lounging by the shore and a variety of bird species like fish eagles, herons, and kingfishers. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of giraffes and zebras wandering by the lake’s edge. Venture into Hell’s Gate National Park, famous for its dramatic cliffs, deep gorges, and geothermal activity. Unlike other national parks in Kenya, Hell’s Gate allows walking and cycling safaris. Cycle or hike through the park, past herds of zebras, gazelles, and buffalos, all while surrounded by breathtaking volcanic rock formations. The park also boasts geothermal hot springs and steam vents that create a surreal, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Challenge yourself with a hike through the scenic gorge, or for the adventurous, a climb at Fischer’s Tower, a towering volcanic plug that offers fantastic views over the landscape. After an action-packed morning, enjoy a relaxing lunch at a lakeside restaurant with views of the shimmering Lake Naivasha and the surrounding wildlife
