The place has a very interesting history. It is a copy of a castle in England built to impress a lady. You relax in compound. Also used for corporate functions. Entry KES 150. Pics @muturi_eva

The view at the top of the hill is sublime. You get to see Nakuru in its entirety & Lake Nakuru. Plenty of tortoise at the museum. Trails lead to the sites where artefacts found relating to early man.
4. Hell’s Gate National Park
Lots of up close animals to see. Walk amongst giraffes & zebras. The geology is fascinating. Bike through the park (choose your bicycle carefully). Also offers rock climbing & hiking thro' the gorge. Pics @benstake
5. Lake Nakuru National Park
One of the best national parks. There are bushy green parts that you don't see in Maasai Mara. Highlight definitely the White Rhinos. I highly recommend this Park if you are short in time or prefer short & easy game drives. Pics @benstake
6. Kariandusi Pre-historic Site
Good site especially if you are into human anthropology. There are pretty interesting skulls & displays. You can track the development of mankind all the way across the world.
7. Lake Naivasha
A beautiful freshwater lake. A haven for birds & hippos. Enjoy boat riding & watching The fish eagle dive to catch its prey. Also Hippocampus graze the banks. Pics @benstake
A beautiful & peaceful place. Take a short boat ride and you are among the animals. Sit among the giraffes & zebra and just contemplate life. Pics courtesy @journeyinafrica
