Rift Valley
Lake Naivasha
Freshwater lake ringed by fever trees and flower farms. Boat safaris, hippo pods, and the walking country of Crescent Island and Hell's Gate.
Naivasha is where Nairobi goes to exhale. Ninety minutes from the city, and the only place in the country where you can walk unfenced among plains game with no predators.
It is also the best value trip we run. A resident weekend here costs less than a night out in Westlands.
