Nairobi to Hell’s Gate National Park
The Great Rift Valley Viewpoint - Depart Nairobi at 7 am and begin the journey to Naivasha, with a brief stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint.
A scheduled stop at the viewpoint on the escarpment side allows for a breathtaking view of the Rift Valley floor from a bird’s eye perspective. The Rift Valley system, formed 5 million years ago, stretches from the Red Sea through Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania. This active volcanic area boasts fascinating features, including over eight lakes and the dormant Lake Bogoria geysers.
From this vantage point, you can see the volcanic Mt. Suswa and Mt. Longonot, with their lush craters and the rolling green Rift Valley floor. The view is simply stunning.
Hell’s Gate National Park - Arrive at Hell’s Gate around 9 am and begin a two-hour biking tour.
At 11 am, explore the gorges within the park. These are narrow land depressions where you can walk beneath the surface. Some areas have formed caves to walk through, taking about an hour.
By 1 pm, conclude the tours and return the bikes at the gate. Then, drive to Naivasha Marina Camp for lunch (at your own expense).
Lake Naivasha - At 2 pm, enjoy an optional one-hour boat ride on the lake for bird watching and hippo viewing, reaching the shores of Crescent Island.
By 4 pm, all activities conclude, and the drive to Astorian Grand Hotel or a similar venue for dinner and overnight stay begins.
Please note that, upon request and at an additional cost, an upgrade to a midrange luxury hotel like Sopa Resort or Simba Lodge is available.
