Welcome to Naivasha

Lakeside Escapes from Nairobi

Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake within easy driving distance of Nairobi. Boat trips take visitors close to hippos and birdlife, Crescent Island allows walking among giraffe and antelope, and Hell’s Gate National Park is open for cycling and walking. Naivasha’s lakeside resorts are also popular for conferences and corporate retreats.

We arrange weekend stays, conference packages and day trips from Nairobi, and combine Naivasha with Nakuru and the Masai Mara.

Things to do in Naivasha

Take a boat trip on the lake to see hippos and fish eagles. Then walk among giraffes and antelope on Crescent Island. You can also cycle through Hell’s Gate National Park, which allows bikes and walking.

Best time to visit

Naivasha is pleasant all year. However, the dry months from June to October and from January to February give the clearest days.

How to get there

Naivasha is roughly two hours from Nairobi by road, so it works well for a weekend or a day trip.
