Lake Naivasha Experience

Volcano hikes, cycling among wildlife, boat rides and flower farms in the Great Rift Valley.

Ninety minutes from Nairobi, Lake Naivasha is the Rift Valley at its most active — a freshwater lake ringed by volcanoes, gorges and flower farms.

This is an adventure itinerary: you hike, cycle, paddle and ride, with hippos and giraffe never far away.
