The lake is geothermally active on the western shore, with geysers and hot springs. Sulphur water gushing out of the ground has therapeutic value. The hot springs are natural spas and steam baths. The hot spring water geysers are extremely hot – the gushing out water is boiling, and visitors are forewarned to be Careful. The reserve has a herd of the relatively uncommon Greater Kudu. Other large mammals include buffalo, zebra, cheetah, baboon, warthog, caracal, spotted hyena, impala, and dik-dik.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas, covering more than 1,500 sq km, it is one of Kenya’s most popular tourist destinations. Mara is in the Great Rift Valley in an open grassland. Wildlife is most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. The Masai Mara National Reserve has been called the Kingdom of Lions, and these regal and powerful hunters dominate these grasslands. Cheetahs are also a common sight in the Mara, as are hyenas and smaller predators such as Jackals. This is an incredible natural wonder, a place where Maasai warriors share the plains with hunting lions, a place.
Lake Naivasha & Hells Gate
“A Walk on the Wild Side”
Named for the intense geothermal activity within its boundaries, Hell’s Gate National Park is a remarkable part of the Great Rift Valley.

Amboseli National Park
“Home of the African Elephant”
Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, the Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks.

They can also visit the local Maasai community, which lives around the park, and experience their authentic culture.
Tsavo West National Park

The savannah ecosystem comprises open grasslands, scrublands, and Acacia woodlands.
