Naivasha is one of the most popular travel destinations in Kenya. It is beloved by visitors from all parts of Kenya and beyond due to its moderate climate and gorgeous scenery on the floor of the Great Rift Valley. At the core of it all is Lake Naivasha. This is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Africa which hosts a rich birdlife and supports large-scale horticulture that makes Kenya a leading flower exporter in the world. Surrounding the lake are unique geographical features such as Mt Longonot, Hell's Gate National Park, and private game sanctuaries, all attracting hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts every weekend. One cannot forget the numerous modern hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants catering to every taste, style, and budget. Naivasha is indeed “the place to be.”
