Day 1 Arrival in Nairobi and drive to Lake Naivasha
Arrive in Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Meet driver-guide and after safari briefing, drive to Lake Naivasha set in a picturesque landscape of surrounding woodland and grassland and arrive in time for lunch. After lunch enjoy a scenic boat ride at Lake Naivasha, where you can view and photograph the Hippos. You will also take a game walk on the Crescent Island.
Crescent Island Game Sanctuary is located on the eastern side of Lake Naivasha, in the Great Rift Valley. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya and is Naivasha’s best-kept secret. Surrounded by water, the island is actually a peninsula that is accessible by boat as well as by road. There are more animals here per acre than any other Kenyan park. Visitors can walk freely among the giraffe, zebra, Thompson's and Grant's gazelles, waterbuck, eland, and a great many bird species. Don’t miss walking along the ridge in the ‘golden hour’ before sunset to watch the animals grazing against the backdrop of shimmering water.

Day 2 Lake Naivasha County Club
Depart after an early breakfast for Hells Gate National Park where you have a guided walk, a bike ride through the savannah and swim at the Ol Karia Geothermal Plant.
Dramatic, vertical cliffs rising steeply from the floor of the Great Rift Valley mark the entrance to Hell's Gate National Park. The Park, a World Heritage Site at the south end of Lake Naivasha, covers an area of 68.25 square kilometers (26 square miles) and was named by explorers Thomson and Fischer in 1883 for the geothermal activity that can be witnessed here, steam rising from the ground in ghostly white shapes.
Hell's Gate is home to numerous plains game, including Thomson's gazelle, impala, and Hartebeest as well as big-winged birdlife: Verreaux's eagles, augur buzzards and rare lammergeyer - or bearded - vultures, considered an old-world bird of prey can all be seen here.
The park presents as towering cliffs, gorges, extinct volcanoes - Olkaria and Hobley's - and rock towers; the most impressive is Fischer's Tower; formed 35 million years ago, it is 25 meters (82 feet) high and was named after the German explorer Gustav Fischer, who trekked through this area on a journey to try to find a route from Mombasa to Lake Victoria. Fischer's Tower is one of the park’s many popular rock-climbing sites.
