1 day · By road · Rift Valley viewpoint, Hell’s Gate, Lake Naivasha
Day trip · the rift valley
A day out of the city into the Great Rift Valley: the red cliffs of Hell’s Gate, a boat among hippos and fish eagles, and a walk among giraffe and zebra with no predators to worry about.
The signature moment: Walking among giraffes on Crescent Island, close enough to hear them chew.
