In the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel and receive a full briefing on your safari as we start our safari by driving to Hell’s Gate National Park which lies to the south of Lake Naivasha, Northwest of Nairobi. The park, which is mainly comprised of savannah ecosystem harbors a wide variety of wildlife. There are over 100 species of birds, including vultures, Verreaux’s eagles, augur buzzard and swifts. African buffalos, zebras, eland, hartebeest, Thomson’s gazelle and baboons are also common. Depart in the afternoon to Lake Naivasha which is the highest and the most beautiful of the Rift Valley lakes. Lake Naivasha is yet another area popular for bird watching (over 400 species have been recorded here). It is also a favorite weekend retreat for Nairobi residents, who come here to sail, water ski and fish. There are no crocodiles in the lake as the water is too cold for them, due to altitude but there are a number of hippos. Along the lakeshore, vineyards produce grapes for the country’s fledgling wine industry. Return to your resort or Lodge for dinner and overnight.
