Enjoy a relax­ing and scenic adven­ture with our 1 Day Lake Naivasha Tour From Nairo­bi. Lake Naivasha is one of the most beau­ti­ful fresh­wa­ter lakes in Kenya and is locat­ed in the Great Rift Val­ley, about two hours from Nairo­bi.

This tour is per­fect for trav­el­ers who want to escape the busy city and enjoy nature, wildlife, and peace­ful lake views in a sin­gle day. Vis­i­tors can enjoy a boat ride on the lake, see hip­pos and many bird species, and walk among wildlife at Cres­cent Island.
