Tipping Info

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour

Itinerary

You will be collected from your hotel within the city centre starting from 7:00 a.m. If your hotel is away from the city centre, kindly be at the Kivi Milimani Hotel by 07:30 a.m. There will be a brief introduction meeting from your tour guide before departing.
After the introductions, drive north towards Lake Naivasha. Stop along the way to take in breathtaking views of the Rift Valley before proceeding towards the lake. On arrival visit Hell's Gate National Park. This 70 sq km park is one among few National Parks in Kenya where walking is permitted. The park has many herbivores and birds to spot as well as hot springs, spectacular cliffs and gorges to explore. Lunch at a restaurant is an opportunity to sample regional cuisine and engage with the locals. With stomachs full head to the Elsamere Conservation Centre on the shores of the lake. This was once the home of Joy and George Adamson who devoted their lives to wildlife conservation. They are famously remembered for their relationship with the lioness Elsa, having reared her from a cub and released her back into the wild. After a full day of explorations return to Nairobi.
