National Parks · Nature & Parks · Bodies of Water
Nestled on the shore of the eponymous lake, the market town of Naivasha boasts an enviable location and serves as gateway to several national parks, including Hell's Gate--inspiration for the landscapes of Disney's "The Lion King." Boating among the hippos of the vast, placid lake; camping; and bird-watching top the list of things to do in Naivasha. Tourism here also includes a variety of day trips and excursions to nearby natural sights: climb Mount Longonot, bike around the lake, or explore the game park safaris. Take stress off the schedule by using our Kenya trip itinerary planner.
