5.00I took the Lake Naivasha & Hell’s Gate National Park Day Tour with Liofe and Rimon Safaris in May 2026 and it was outstanding. I went with friends and everything exceeded expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The comfortable transport, good lunch, and smooth itinerary made the day easy. Hell’s Gate was a highlight — biking through the stunning gorges with zebras, giraffes, and antelopes all around was fantastic. The Lake Naivasha boat ride delivered great hippo sightings and beautiful scenery. Well-organized, safe, and great value for a day trip from Nairobi. Perfect mix of adventure and wildlife. Highly recommend!
My Amazing Experience at Lake Naivasha

5.00I had a great experience at Lake Naivasha for a meagre amount. I had value for my money. I was there four about four hours with my friend, we are Nigerians. The place was serene and beautiful. Atmosphere was peaceful and friendly with tourists trooping in numbers at different times. Though we came very early beacuse we wanted to see the hippos and we saw them in the water. It was a lovely experience. Staff were friendly and educated us on everything we needed to know about the lake and the animals. They gave us great knowledge about the animals and the place. Our tour guide was Willy and our tour advisor that brought us there was Monica. Thank you for this great experience. I will never forget.

5.00What an unforgettable experience at Lake Naivasha! We had a full day filled with adventure, beautiful scenery, and incredible wildlife sightings — including seeing hippos up close, which was definitely a highlight of the trip. We also visited Mount Longonot, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Everything throughout the day was perfectly organized, which made the experience so enjoyable and stress-free. A special thank you to Monica who was amazing and organized everything from start to finish. She was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made sure everything ran smoothly the entire day. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kenya!

5.00Fantastic trip, the driver who picked us up was super informative and very safe, as we drove from Nairobi to Naivasha. I’ve been before to Crescent Island so I knew what to expect, but for my partner it was her first time. Amazing time on the island, walking amongst the Zebra, giraffes, Impala, and so many more species of grazing wild animals. But big thanks to Monica who arranged the entire trip with one day’s notice! I would recommend her services!

5.00She was a wonderful lady, and I feel lucky to have crossed paths with her. She helped me make the most of my very few days in Nairobi. I will never forget how kind and helpful she was, and she even took me to Lake Naivasha as well. She made the impossible possible for me, and I am forever grateful to this beautiful, hardworking lady. You are in wonderful hands if you take a trip with her. You can rest assured she goes above and beyond to give you the best experience ever. It always warms my heart whenever I think about her and how she helped me during my short trip to Kenya.
