Nairobi → Lake Naivasha — Great Rift Valley & The Forest

A sparkling freshwater lake in the Great Rift Valley, 90 km north-west of Nairobi at 1,884 m altitude. Famous for its diverse birdlife (over 400 species), hippos, and surrounding flower farms. Hells Gate National Park, one of Kenya's few parks where visitors can cycle freely among wildlife, borders the southern shore. Boat trips at dusk reveal hippo pods and fish eagles diving at sunset.

Sanctuary Farm Visit

A visit to Sanctuary Farm on the shores of Lake Naivasha — a private conservancy home to Rothschild giraffes, zebras, Cape buffaloes, and over 200 bird species. Guests walk freely among the giraffes, feed them from hand, and explore the lakeshore under the guidance of a naturalist. Optional boat trips, cycling within the property, and sundowner drinks overlooking the lake complete a perfect afternoon.

Boat Safari on Lake Naivasha

A guided motorboat excursion on the glassy waters of Lake Naivasha, one of the Rift Valley's most bird-rich lakes. The boat glides among papyrus beds where African fish eagles swoop for catches, cormorants dry their wings, and kingfishers dart in flashes of electric blue. Hippo pods surface unexpectedly close to the boat as the golden sunset reflects off the water. Evening departures are particularly magical.

Lake Elementaita → Kericho Tea Farms → Eldoret via Nandi Hills

Kenya's fifth city and the undisputed "Home of Champions" — more Olympic and World Championship medals have been won by athletes from Eldoret and its Nandi Hills environs than almost anywhere on earth. At 2,100 m altitude the thin, crisp highland air has produced generations of elite distance runners. The city has a lively market scene, a warm community feel, and beautiful wheat and maize farmland stretching to the horizon.

Eldoret → Iten Viewpoint → Rift Valley Descent via Kabarnet → Nanyuki

Nanyuki is a charming town at the foothills of Mount Kenya and the gateway to Kenya’s central highlands. It offers scenic landscapes, outdoor adventures, and easy access to nearby wildlife conservancies.

Activities
→
Thomson Falls Visit

A visit to Thomson's Falls in Nyahururu — a breathtaking 74-metre waterfall named after Scottish explorer Joseph Thomson who "discovered" it in 1883. The falls plunge into a deep forested gorge surrounded by colobus monkeys and colourful forest birds. A short walking trail descends to the base of the falls for an up-close view of the thundering torrent. Local artisans sell carvings and crafts near the viewing platform.

→
Game Drive

A classic open-vehicle game drive through Kenya's reserves and national parks. Expert wildlife guides track animal movements in real time, positioning the vehicle for close encounters with the Big Five and beyond. Game drives typically run at dawn when predators are most active, and again at dusk for golden-light photography. All vehicles are 4x4 with roof hatches for unobstructed wildlife viewing.
