Safari Details

Nairobi - Hell's Gate National Park Early morning pick up from your hotel and drive from the city to Hell's Gate National Park. Located between beautiful Lake Naivasha and the twin Longonot and Suswa Volcanoes, Hell's Gate is one of Africa's most visually stunning parks. Hell's Gate is famous for its natural hot geysers, its eagle and vulture breeding grounds, and the variety of activities that visitors have access to during their visit. Hiking, cycling, and rock climbing are just a few of the options available to visitors. While Hell's Gate is known primarily for its landscape, there is still game to be spotted within the park. Buffalo, giraffes, elands, lions, leopards, and cheetahs can all be spotted in the park on occasion.   Later proceed for lunch at one of the hotels along the shores of Lake Naivasha.   Lake Naivasha Boat Ride and Crescent Island There is just one “Crescent Island Game Park” located on Lake Naivasha, Kenya in the Great Rift Valley. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya, and is Naivasha’s best kept secret. Surrounded by water, it is actually a peninsular and is accessible by boat from East or West as well as by road. The shores host abundant birdlife including pelicans, cormorants and fish-eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than any other Kenyan Park. On arrival you start with a boat ride tour with a one hour speed boat animal viewing expeditions. The boat drops you at the island where you are welcomed by guides and proceed for a walking tour. Come close to friendly wild animals with well trained guides leading you. After this guided tour, the boat will come for you for the dry land and departure for Nairobi. Drop at your Nairobi hotel or airport with a lot of memories.
