Summary

Meet your local guide at your Nairobi hotel for the 2- to 2.5-hour trip to Hell’s Gate National Park, driving through a scenic landscape of plains with views of Lake Naivasha. Learn about the remarkable plants and animals that thrive within the park, including over 130 bird species. Take in dramatic views of soaring, red cliffs, deep gorges and basalt columns, and enjoy the freedom to explore on foot. Experience the thrill of seeing large, plant-eating game animals outside the vehicle in a region where great herds of zebra thunder past baboons, buffalo and hartebeest. Find out how to spot signs of leopard, cheetah, and the long-legged serval cats that hunt in the tall grass. Break for lunch at a nearby restaurant—this is the perfect time to taste regional Kenyan food and mingle with local Maasai in a casual setting. After lunch, continue to the Elsamere Conservation Center, a wildlife conservation center at the edge of Lake Naivasha. Hear the story of Joy and George Adamson, whose former home now supports a troop of black and white colobus monkeys that you can spot playing in the acacia trees and peaceful gardens. Finish the day with return transfer to your hotel in Nairobi.
