Naivasha

Lake Naivasha is the crown jewel of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, a shimmering freshwater oasis framed by acacia-dotted shores and dramatic volcanic cliffs. This natural wonderland invites you to glide past hippos on boat rides to Crescent Island, where you can walk alongside grazing zebras and giraffes in a predator-free sanctuary. The area’s dramatic landscapes offer thrilling adventures – from cycling through Hell’s Gate National Park’s towering red cliffs and geothermal steam vents to hiking through prehistoric rock formations at Mount Longonot. Whether soaking in geothermal spas, spotting over 400 bird species, or dining with lakeside views as the sun paints the valley gold, Naivasha blends relaxation, wildlife encounters, and outdoor adventure in one spectacular setting.
