What People Are Saying About Naivasha

Hells Gate National Park

The Hell's Gate in Naivasha is actually a very large wildlife park. The two peaks here stand opposite each other, forming a natural gate, which is known as the Hell's Gate. But in fact, there are rich grasslands here, and many herbivorous wild animals live here. It is full of vitality and is definitely one of the famous attractions in Kenya. Don't miss it.

Lake Nakuru

A favourite national park with lots of animals esp rhino, hyena, lions, giraffe and a birders paradise. Lots to see and do. Plan to start early and spend a long, enjoyable day out. The roads could do with an upgrading. Road signs too should be updated. Take care as some roads below cliffs around the lake have long been swallowed by the rising waters and end abruptly.

Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha, Kenya! It rained as soon as I got on the boat. The tour guide suggested not to sit. There is a pity! Lake Naivasha in the haze has a special charm. There are private territories by the lake, and many locals are playing leisurely. The monkeys by the lake are very cute!

Naivasha Boating

It is essential to take a local small boat to visit the famous Naivasha Lake. The boatman drives a four-person boat across the lake. You can see beautiful water birds, hippos with only their heads exposed, and crocodiles hesitating in the lake. Here, you can fully experience the harmony of nature. Of course, don't put your hands in the lake easily, because this is a very dangerous action.

Aladel National Forest Park, here, we rarely see the cheetah and their cubs, the cheetah cubs are really cute. The tour guide said that it seems that he was born only 2-3 days, and the fetal hair is still there.

The Great Rift Valley View Point

一起向前进
Kenya's Great Rift Valley, on the way to Masai Mara, I didn't feel particularly shocked, maybe it's too big! But putting myself in their shoes, I was still very excited. Maybe you need to take a plane and look far away to see a more intuitive panoramic view!

Giraffe Centre

Absolutely incredible experience, we loved feeding the giraffes, talking to the workers, learning more about the giraffes and the local area
