Nairobi to Naivasha Then to Nakuru For The Night

Your 3-day mid-range safari begins with a warm welcome from the Sky Extra Tours team in Nairobi. You will receive a detailed safari briefing outlining your itinerary and safety tips before setting off towards the picturesque Great Rift Valley.

Your first adventure awaits at Hell’s Gate National Park, famous for its dramatic cliffs, volcanic formations, and geothermal activity. If time allows, you’ll enjoy a guided walk or bike ride, spotting zebras, giraffes, and other wildlife in the open landscapes.
After exploring Hell’s Gate, you will enjoy a relaxing lunch en route, with a stopover at the Rift Valley.
In the afternoon, continue to the tranquil waters of Lake Naivasha. Here, you will take a boat ride across the lake, watching for hippos and vibrant birdlife, including kingfishers and fish eagles. A short visit to Crescent Island offers an opportunity to walk among animals.

As the day winds down, you will drive to Lake Nakuru, check in, relax, enjoy dinner, and stay overnight.
