Description

Lake Naivasha, named for its Maasai origin "Nai'posha" meaning "rough waters," is a gem in Kenya's Rift Valley. With the highest elevation, it showcases a unique blend of volcanic rocks and sediments. Renowned for its breathtaking beauty, it's a freshwater haven and home to Hell's Gate National Park. The park boasts striking landscapes—towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, and volcanic plumes. Explore the lake's wonders through guided boat safaris and relax in Africa's largest geothermal spa, Ol Kara, for a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.
