Program
Day 1: Nairobi - Lake Naivasha
Depart from Nairobi in the morning from the airport or your hotel. You will head toward the west where you stop briefly at the viewpoint of the Great Rift Valley for a few photos. Later, proceed with the journey. You will arrive at Mt.Longonot, check in to your accommodation then proceed for hiking. To be safe, Kenya Tour Budget Safari advises hikers to wear comfortable hiking boots as the terrains can be steep. The hiking will start from the park's gate to the top of the mountain at the crater rim which will take two hours, therefore the round trip will be approximately 4 hours. From the top of the mountain, you will be able to see the scenic view of Lake Naivasha. On the way you will have a chance to see antelopes and zebras, and at a long range you will be able to see buffaloes. Lunch will be served after the hike.
Dinner and overnight at Dove Nest Resort which is located on green uphill terrain with beautiful scenery where one can view Lake Naivasha from the balcony.
Day 2: Explore Hell’s Gate
After breakfast, carry with you packed lunch for a full day of exploring Hell’s Gate. This is the only park where visitors are allowed to walk among the wild, ride bicycles, or hike as there are no predators at the park. There is an option for bicycle riding where you can hire the bicycle at the entrance or decided to proceed with a game drive.
On your way, you will see wild animals like antelopes, impalas, zebras, buffaloes, and giraffes among others. Since it is a very open place the buffaloes tend to hide under the shade and the rest of the wild animals can only be seen at a long close distance because of the park's nature.
You can have a packed lunch at the picnic place during which you can watch bamboo and monkeys. Then you leave your bicycles at the picnic place so that you can enter the beautiful gorges of the hells gates believed to have a devil's bed, devil's shower (water inlet), and devil's kitchen. You shall also learn the history of the Masai people since it is owned by the Masai people. There is also a visit to a swimming spa which is optional.
