3 Days 2 Nights Lake Naivasha/Lake Nakuru/Hells gate


Lake Naivasha is a beautiful and ecologically significant destination in Kenya, offering a mix of natural beauty, wildlife, and economic activities that make it an important part of the region’s landscape. The lake and its surroundings are home to a diverse range of plant and animal species. It is particularly famous for its birdlife, including numerous species of waterfowl and migratory birds. Hippos are also a common sight in the lake, along with various fish species. Visitors can enjoy activities like boat safaris, birdwatching, and nature walks. Crescent Island, a wildlife sanctuary in the lake, is a popular spot for viewing wildlife up close.

Lake Nakuru and its surrounding park are popular destinations for wildlife enthusiasts and tourists seeking to observe Africa’s iconic animals and birdlife in a beautiful natural setting. The park also offers scenic viewpoints and picnic spots for visitors to enjoy the stunning landscapes and wildlife. One of the main attractions of Lake Nakuru is its large population of flamingos, particularly the greater and lesser flamingo species. These birds are known for their vibrant pink plumage and are often seen wading in the shallows of the lake, creating a stunning pink-hued spectacle.

Hell’s Gate has been used as a filming location for several movies, including “Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life” and “The Lion King.” Its unique landscapes make it an attractive location for filmmakers. Visitors to Hell’s Gate National Park can enjoy a unique combination of geological wonders, outdoor activities, and a chance to connect with Kenya’s natural and cultural heritage. It is also one of the few national parks in Kenya where you can walk or cycle freely without the need for a safari vehicle, making it a popular destination for those looking for an active adventure. The Maasai Cultural Center is located near the park entrance, where visitors can learn about the Maasai people’s traditional way of life and culture.
