Stop 1
Discover the calm beauty of Lake Naivasha, a freshwater gem nestled in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Surrounded by lush greenery and acacia forests, the lake is a haven for birdlife—watch African fish eagles swoop for their catch, pelicans glide gracefully, and hippos wallow lazily near the shores.
Guests can enjoy a boat ride across the lake, getting up close to wildlife and capturing stunning photos of giraffes and antelopes grazing along Crescent Island’s edges. The tranquil setting makes Naivasha a perfect stop to relax, reflect, and reconnect with nature after days of adventure.

Step into the dramatic landscapes of Hell’s Gate National Park, where towering cliffs, rugged gorges, and steaming vents create one of Kenya’s most unique safari experiences. Unlike most parks, Hell’s Gate invites you to walk, cycle, or drive among zebras, giraffes, gazelles, and warthogs—no predators, just pure adventure.
Explore the majestic Fischer’s Tower, a favorite spot for rock climbers, and descend into the scenic Hell’s Gate Gorge, known for its striking rock formations and natural hot springs. It’s an exhilarating blend of wildlife, geology, and outdoor fun that lets you feel the wild up close.
