Nairobi - Hell's Gate National Park

Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or residence, followed by a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley toward Hell’s Gate National Park, arriving mid-morning. Upon arrival, you’ll have the option to explore the park on foot or by bicycle, accompanied by a guide. Hell’s Gate offers a unique safari experience with dramatic cliffs, gorges, and geothermal activity, and is home to zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, and antelopes. You’ll walk or cycle past towering rock formations and through the iconic Hell’s Gate Gorge (weather permitting), where parts of The Lion King and Tomb Raider were filmed. After a picnic lunch inside the park, continue exploring before transferring to your lodge or camp near Lake Naivasha in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure, enjoying dinner and a peaceful overnight stay.

Lake Naivasha

After breakfast at your lodge, start the day with a serene boat ride on Lake Naivasha, gliding across the calm waters as you spot hippos, fish eagles, and a variety of water birds. The boat will take you to Crescent Island, a privately owned sanctuary where you can enjoy a guided walking safari among freely roaming wildlife such as zebras, giraffes, impalas, and waterbucks. With no predators on the island, it’s a safe and immersive way to experience animals up close on foot. Take in the stunning lake views and peaceful natural surroundings before heading back to the mainland. Spend the afternoon at leisure—relaxing at your lodge or exploring the Naivasha area—and enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.
