Lake Naivasha- Nairobi

As the sun paints the lake with golden hues, enjoy a relaxed breakfast and perhaps a final stroll along the lakeshore.
You will do a drive to the Hell's Gate National Park, famous for its natural geysers, star rock towers, and geothermal steam that make it one of the most atmospheric parks in Africa. This park was named for its pair of massive, red-tinged cliffs framing a geothermically active interior of steam vents and bubbling springs. This is the only park where you can walk or cycle through as you view animals. Later we leave for Nairobi, where the safari ends after drop-off to your hotel.
