We collect you from the airport or hotel and set off for Lake Naivasha, making a quick stop to take in the breathtaking views of the vast natural landscape of the Rift Valley. We journey down to the valley floor, reaching Hell’s Gate National Park for an exhilarating hour of cycling through the wild, leading us to the gorge for a hike before we pedal back for another hour to the entrance. We arrive at the hotel and enjoy a delightful lunch. After refreshments, we embark on an evening boat ride across the lake, taking in the breathtaking sunset. We head back for dinner and a night at the hotel. Primary Location: Lake Naivasha (Naivasha) Stay at the Panorama Park Hotel
Tour overview
The Great Rift Valley is an incredible stretch of interconnected geographic depressions, spanning about 7,000km, that extends from Lebanon in Asia all the way to Mozambique in southeast Africa. Although the name persists in certain contexts, it is seldom employed in geology due to its vague combination of distinct yet interconnected rift and fault systems. This valley stretches an impressive 5,950km northward, weaving through the vibrant eastern region of Africa. Several deep, elongated lakes, known as ribbon lakes, can be found on the floor of this Rift Valley.
