Relax and Rejuvenate in Lake Naivasha
Lake Naivasha is the perfect spot for relaxation. Enjoy boat trips to see hippos and birdlife, or perhaps a spot of fishing. Take a trip to Crescent Island for a bush walk among antelope, or explore the dramatic landscapes of Hell’s Gate National Park, where you can hike, cycle, or even rock climb.
