Lake Naivasha
About 90 minutes from Nairobi and a nice change of pace: a boat ride among hippos, an unguided walk with zebra and giraffe on Crescent Island, and Hell's Gate's gorge next door.
Highlights
- Boat safari among the lake's hippos (an estimated 1,500+) and fish eagles
- Walking safari on Crescent Island — no predators, so it's on foot
- Cycling or hiking Hell's Gate's Ol Njorowa Gorge, past cliffs and steam vents
- Sunset over the lake from a lakeside lodge
