naivasha_crater_lake_days_tripThis one day tour to Crater Lake Game Sanctuary or Hells Gate National Park departs daily at 0745hrs.

Depart Nairobi in the morning for Crater Lake alternatively to Hell's Gate National park driving down the escarpment via the floor of the Great Rift Valley. A brief stop-over at Mai Mahiu viewpoint to capture the breathtaking Great Rift Valley.

Crater Lake is a secluded green soda lake at the bottom of an extinct volcano, tucked away in the Rift Valley of Kenya. It is in the author's opinion, the most beautiful natural phenomenon in Kenya. There is a magical lakeside Crater Lake Camp which is a perfect stopover en route to the Nakuru and the Masai Mara game parks as well as a romantic getaway by itself!

History is everywhere at Crater Lake Naivasha. The 10,000-acre game sanctuary houses the famous hilltop grave where Happy Valley's tragic heroine, Lady Diana Delamere, is buried with her last two husbands, Gilbert Colvile and Thomas Delamere. For the truly intrepid, there are the mysterious 'Caves of God' in the golden wheatfields of Ndabibi, reputed to be an inspiration for H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quartermain.

Explore with the resident naturalist, go boating, camel riding or just relax in a hammock, enjoying the antics of the exquisite black and white colobus monkeys – the camps' emblem. After scooping awards as Kenya's best tented camp and in "QUEST for the BEST; Travel News & Life Style East Africa readers voted Crater Lake the "Best Weekend Get-Away- Kenya.
