Olkaria Geothermal Spa

Hell's Gate National Park, Naivasha Open daily, 8am–6pm

Fed by the Olkaria geothermal field, the spa is a set of open-air lagoons of naturally hot, mineral-rich water inside Hell's Gate National Park. The swimming lagoon is held at a comfortable warm-bath temperature and has both shallow and deeper sections, with technicians monitoring it through the day. Paired with a cycle through the park or the gorge walk it makes one of the best-value family days near Naivasha.

Good to know: You reach it through the park gate, so park entry fees apply — bring swimming things, water and sunscreen.
