Lake Naivasha

Welcome to Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha is the go-to weekend getaway for Nairobi residents and one of Kenya's most beloved freshwater destinations. Nestled in the Great Rift Valley just 90km from the capital, this tranquil lake and its surrounding landscape offer a refreshing mix of adventure, wildlife, and relaxation within a 2-hour drive.

Walk freely among giraffes, zebras, and antelopes on Crescent Island – a unique walking safari requiring no game drive vehicle. Cycle through the dramatic gorges of Hell's Gate National Park, made famous by its appearance in Disney's The Lion King. Take a sunset boat ride on the lake to spot hippos and fish eagles at close range. For thrill-seekers, Mount Longonot hike rewards with panoramic crater views. Naivasha suits every budget, from lakeside camping to luxury eco-lodges.
