About This Journey
Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is a freshwater gem surrounded by acacia woodland and papyrus marshes, famous for its hippo families, fish eagles, and prolific birdlife of over 400 species. The iconic Crescent Island walking safari lets you stroll among giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest without fences — one of Kenya's most unique wildlife experiences. Hell's Gate National Park, adjacent to the lake, offers cycling safaris, dramatic gorge hiking, and geothermal hot springs. Mount Longonot crater hike is another nearby highlight. Lake Nakuru (60 km) with its flamingos and rhinos, and Masai Mara (3.5 hrs) complete a classic Rift Valley safari circuit. Naivasha town lies just 90 km from Nairobi, making this ideal as a day trip or short extension. Best visited July to October and January to February.
