Overview: Experience the best of Naivasha in one day. This excursion combines the thrill of cycling through a national park with a relaxing afternoon on the water. We start with an active exploration of the dramatic cliffs and gorges of Hell’s Gate, then transition into a comfortable vehicle for a scenic drive to the shores of Lake Naivasha for a premier lakeside lunch and boat safari.
