Additional Information

Located on the basin of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha stands as one of the fresh water lakes characteristic of the magnificent escarpment. As a haven for bird enthusiasts, it houses over 350 distinctive species of both resident and migratory birds. The Naivasha circuit is a theater of stunning landscapes, punctuated by towering yellow acacia trees, enormous euphorbia cacti, bushy vegetation, and an array of flowering plants. Visitors embark on motor-driven boat rides to traverse the lake and venture to the Crescent Island, a sanctuary for diverse wildlife. The nearby Hell’s Gate National Park is another Naivasha treasure, offering a spectacular sight of free-ranging herbivores and an extensive collection of bird species, including the rare lammergeir eagle at risk of extinction. Its remarkable geological cliffs and ancient rock formations dating back millions of years render it a truly awe-inspiring and monumental destination.
