Expert tips

ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE

Visit to Hell's Gate National Park

Hells gate Game Drive. The park is full of herbivores, and there are bird-watching opportunities galore.  Hells gate National Park offers a rewarding experience for both novice and expert cyclists. As you cycle, you’ll get to view one of the most magnificent sceneries in Africa as you embark on this invigorating experience.

Boat Ride and Crescent Island Visit.

Enjoy a scenic boat ride in Lake Naivasha as you head to Crescent Island,  The shores host abundant birdlife especially huge numbers of pelicans, cormorants, and fish - eagles with their haunting cry. There are more animals per acre than in any other Kenyan Park; hence many film companies have been to the Island to film the herds of Wildebeest, Waterbuck, Zebra, and Gazelle. The wildlife sanctuary is not  fenced to allow the wildlife on the mainland to come in as they lose their habitat to development and the ever-increasing population

Farm tour 

If you have always wanted to know how the Dutch grow their roses, it is a good idea to take a farm tour. In about 1 – 1,5 hours we will tell you all you need to know about growing roses. A farm tour is only possible for guests staying at the lodge.

Bird walk

If you love birds, or just want to know a bit more about our feathered friends you came to the right place. Lake Naivasha is home to more than 400 species of birds. Under the guidance of a professional birder, you can walk around the farm and try to identify all the birds you encounter. Depending on your enthusiasm the bird walk will take about 1 – 2 hours. We ask 500 Ksh per person for the bird walk.

Boat trip

There are numerous places to do a boat ride at the lake. It is possible to do a boat ride either on Lake Naivasha or at the smaller lake Olodien. We’d be happy to advise you when you arrive!  

Crater lake

Located about 30 minutes down the road from the lodge you can find Crater Lake. A little gem where you can do a game drive or hike around the lake. Enjoy a drink on the terrace of the restaurant at the lakeside.

Mt. longonot

The extinct volcano of Mount Longonot can be seen from our viewpoint. Did you know you can also hike this mountain? The ascend will take about an hour, after you have reached the top you can enjoy the views and if you are up for it, go round the crater rim.
