Just a short drive from Nairobi, Lake Naivasha is one of the most accessible and scenic getaways in the Great Rift Valley. Known for its fresh waters and lush surroundings, Naivasha is a haven for birdwatchers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the city.
The highlight of any visit is a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where you’ll glide across calm waters alongside hippos, watch African fish eagles swoop for their catch, and enjoy up-close encounters with diverse birdlife. Nearby, Crescent Island Game Sanctuary offers a unique walking safari experience among giraffes, zebras, and antelopes – all without predators, making it safe and family-friendly.
The area around Naivasha is equally rich in attractions. You can combine your trip with Hell’s Gate National Park, famous for its dramatic gorges and cycling safaris, or relax in lakeside lodges and camps that cater to both budget and luxury travelers.
Our Lake Naivasha safari and getaway packages include flexible options: day trips from Nairobi, weekend retreats, and customized combinations with Hell’s Gate or Lake Nakuru. Packages typically include transport, professional guides, meals, and selected activities like boat rides and entry fees.
Lake Naivasha is a year-round destination, but the dry season (June–October, January–February) offers the best conditions for boat rides and walking safaris.
Whether it’s a quick escape or a full weekend adventure, Lake Naivasha offers the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration. Book your Naivasha package today and experience the charm of the Rift Valley.
