Day-by-Day Itinerary

1. 1

   Day 1: Nairobi to Lake Naivasha

   Lake Naivasha welcomes the family with a 90 km road journey from Nairobi and an afternoon on the water. After arrival and lunch, board a boat for views of the freshwater lake, hippos along the shoreline, and birdlife such as fish eagles, pelicans, cranes, and storks. Continue to Crescent Island for a guided wildlife walk before returning across the lake. Dinner and a quiet lakeside evening follow at Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club.

   Day 2: Lakeside morning and Nairobi return

   The final morning gives the family unhurried time beside Lake Naivasha before returning to Nairobi. Start with breakfast at Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, then enjoy the hotel grounds and watch for birds around the lakeshore. Check out later in the morning and begin the return road transfer. The package ends in Nairobi, leaving the afternoon free and avoiding the rushed pace of a longer multi-park safari.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Lake Naivasha package price include?

The price includes scheduled return road transfers from Nairobi, one night at Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, lunch and dinner on Day 1, breakfast on Day 2, a Lake Naivasha boat ride, Crescent Island entry, and guided activities described in the itinerary. Drinks, tips, insurance, and personal expenses are excluded.

What is the child policy for this family holiday?

Children aged 5–17 qualify for the listed child price when sharing with adults. Children under 5 receive free entry where the attraction policy permits, but transport seats, meals, and accommodation may still carry a charge. Proven Adventures will confirm the exact family total after checking room arrangements and the children’s ages.

When is the best time to book Lake Naivasha?

Lake Naivasha can be visited throughout 2026. The lowest package prices apply from January to June and from November through mid-December. July to October and the festive period from December 16–31 cost more, so families seeking value should consider the standard or shoulder seasons.

Is Hell's Gate National Park included?

No. This relaxed two-day itinerary focuses on the Lake Naivasha boat safari, Crescent Island, and time at the lakeside hotel. Hell's Gate National Park, bicycle hire, guided gorge walks, and Olkaria Geothermal Spa can be quoted separately when time, operating conditions, and family preferences allow.

Are boat and sanctuary fees included?

The package includes the scheduled Lake Naivasha boat ride and Crescent Island entry stated in the itinerary. Any optional attraction, extra boat time, or added park visit is charged separately. Published entry fees can change, so Proven Adventures reconfirms all applicable fees before final payment.

Can one adult book this package alone?

The advertised price is per person sharing a room. A single traveller can book the package, but a single-room supplement may apply because the hotel cost is not shared. Proven Adventures will provide the supplement after checking the selected travel dates and current room availability.

How do I book this trip with Proven Adventures?

To book with Proven Adventures, submit your preferred 2026 dates, number of adults, children’s ages, residency status, and room requirements. Our team will confirm availability at Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, issue the final quotation, and provide payment instructions. Early booking is recommended for July–October and December festive dates.
