A hike into the gorges reveals geothermal features and towering rock formations. Picnic lunch is served inside the park before returning to Naivasha town for dinner and overnight by the lakeside.
The final day begins with a peaceful boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where you’ll spot hippos, pelicans, and fish eagles against the backdrop of the Rift Valley escarpments. The experience offers a calm and scenic end to your adventure. After breakfast, you check out and begin your journey back to Nairobi, arriving by afternoon with wonderful memories of the Rift Valley’s wildlife, landscapes, and unique adventures.
