Lake Naivasha is a beautiful freshwater lake, fringed by thick papyrus and surrounded by forests which abound with bird life, making Naivasha known as a world class birding destination. The waters of the lake draw a great range of game - Giraffes wander among the acacia, Buffalo wallow in the swamps and Colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the large hippo population sleep the day out in the shallows. Boat trips on the lake are a great way to spend an afternoon or morning. Sunsets are stunning, with the haunting call of a Fish Eagle high over the Lake bringing the day to a perfect end....

Hell’s Gate National Park was named for its pair of massive red tinged cliffs framing a geothermically active interior of steam vents and bubbling springs. The park is home to a profusion of plains game and birdlife. Walking is permitted, making it ideal for hiking, biking, and rock climbing.

You can also climb the spectacular Longonot Mountain. The hike along the crater rim is one of the most beautiful day hikes in Eastern Africa. Oserian Wildlife Sanctuary offers an array of wildlife including the wide rhino, leopard, cheetah and beisa oryx.
