This tour starts in Nairobi just after breakfast. Your driver-guide will pick you up from your hotel, then depart toward Lake Naivasha. En route, you'll make a stopover at the Mau Escarpment viewpoint, from where you'll be treated to sweeping views of the floor of the Rift Valley below, L. Naivasha, and Mt. Longonot. This outpost is excellent for photo ops! You'll then continue your descent to Lake Naivasha, arriving around noon with ample time for check-in and lunch.
Later in the afternoon, you'll embark on a boat ride on Lake Naivasha to see the abundant freshwater marine life, including many bird species, hippos, and the occasional grazers near the shorelines. Your boat tour guide will explain the lake's economic importance to the local community as well as its critical role in biodiversity.
Ahoy! In the early evening, you'll return to shore where your driver-guide will drop you off for an evening of relaxation, followed by dinner and an overnight stay at the lodge.
