Depart Nairobi in the morning and drive down into the Great Rift Valley to Hells Gate National Park, arriving before the heat builds. Pick up mountain bikes and cycle with your guide through the park among zebra, giraffe, warthog and gazelle, stopping to hike Fischer's Tower and to peer into the geothermal steam plumes of the gorge. After the ride, transfer to Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort for lunch and check-in. The afternoon is free to relax by the pool or take an optional boat ride and Crescent Island walk at extra cost. Dinner and overnight at the resort.
After breakfast choose a relaxed morning boat ride among hippos and fish eagles with an optional guided walk on Crescent Island, where giraffe, zebra and wildebeest roam freely. Alternatively, simply enjoy the resort gardens and the lake views. Check out around midday, have lunch, and drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the early afternoon where the safari ends with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
