Hell’s Gate National Park
Named for the pair of massive red cliffs of the Njorowa Gorge that encloses a
geothermic area of hot springs and steam vents, Hell’s Gate is one of the two
parks in Kenya that allows visitors to explore on foot, making it an ideal place
for hiking, cycling, camping and rock climbing. It is famous for its natural
steaming geysers, and the towering cliffs provide an eagle and vulture breeding
ground.
The wide plains are home to numerous animals, such as zebra, buffalo, eland,
gazelle and hartebeest and the experience of walking alongside a giraffe or past
a herd of zebra is a memorable one. Lion, leopard and cheetah are also present
but hardly ever seen.
Lake Naivasha
Recognized for its abundance of birdlife and beautiful scenery, and with the
nearby attractions of Elsamere and Hell’s Gate National Park, Lake Naivasha is a
popular destination and something of a Mecca for bird fanatics. The lake is a
shimmering waterscape of floating hyacinth surrounded by mountains, and the
skies above are pierced by the distinctive cries of the fish eagle.
Brightly coloured kingfishers dart into the waters from their papyrus perches
and ugly Marabou storks strut along the shoreline like cantankerous sergeant
majors. The trees are home to Columbus monkeys and at night the earth shudders
with the movement of grazing hippos. The fertile soils and fresh water supply
have made this one of the major agricultural regions in Kenya and farmlands
surround the lake giving way to forests of acacia on the mountain slopes. The
southern shore of the lake is lined with hotels, campsites and guesthouses,
prettily situated either on the shore or higher up on the slopes of the mountain
with fantastic views over the lake. Boat trips are a popular way to explore the
lake and also the private Crescent Island Game Sanctuary
