DAY 1: HELLSGATE NATIONAL PARK
After breakfast you depart for Hell's Gate National Park located south of Lake Naivasha and it’s an ideal venue for weekend retreat away from urban life of Nairobi. The diversity of its topography provides for spectacular cliff andgorge walks and incredible geological scenery. The park's rock formations attract a large volume of rock climbing enthusiasts with the famous Fischer's Tower, the Central Tower and the Njorowa Gorge being the star attractions. Obsidian, a striking black glassy rock formed from cooled molten lava is also a feature of this landscape. Other activities include cycling & horse riding. You can also enjoy a boat ride in the nearby Lake Naivasha which is famous for its hippo population. The Olkaria Geothermal Station, the first of its kind in Africa, was established in 1981 and generates geothermal power underneath Hell's Gate from the area's hot springs and geysers.

DAY 2: LAKE BORORIA
You are picked from your hotel at 9:00am after breakfast and depart for Lake Bogoria arriving in time for lunch. After lunch drive to Lake Bogoria Park with the spectacular scenery of stunning bird life, hippos and crocodiles. The water is very highly alkaline supporting no fish life at all and contains blue-green algae that attract thousands of flamingoes that flock the lake and add color turning the shores pink. You have an excellent chance of photographing. Lake Bogoria is known for its hot springs dotted around the southern shore of the lake. The hot springs erupt along the lakeside, 5 meters into the air and produce a strong pungent sulfur smell known to have therapeutic values. However scenic, the water is dangerously hot and visitors are asked to tread carefully. Dinner and overnight at your Lodge (Full Board)
