Private Lake Naivasha & Hell’s Gate Day Safari

Nairobi1 hour

Description

This is a private day safari combining Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park, designed for travelers who value flexibility, varied landscapes, and unrushed exploration within a single day from Nairobi. The experience includes a boat ride across Lake Naivasha to Crescent Island, offering close-up views of birdlife and grazing wildlife in a calm, open setting rarely found on traditional game drives. Travel is in a private 4x4 Land Cruiser safari vehicle with a dedicated driver-guide, allowing the day to adapt to conditions and traveler interests rather than fixed group schedules.
