Located in semi arid region, Naivasha community and hotels are
changing the face of tourism and future of conservation. This was an
area in decline parched by repeated drought, revenged by almost dying
lake and destabilized by the departure of its once beautiful ample
wildlife.
Much of Naivasha is ecosystem on brink of collapse.
Today, visitors go to do the king of things that most safariers only
dream of and that very few places promise to offer. They spend the day
walking through thick, green bush teeming with giraffe, waterbuck,
dik-dik and zebra and by which at night are usually being accompanied by
the hippopotamus. Boating is the main action which no visitor can
afford to miss. Cycling and the horse back in the hells gate National
Park is also one of the main activities in Naivasha. The change has
been nothing short of the spectacular as the number of the animals has
increased in the last few years. This shows how people are friendly to
fauna and flora, and thanks to Kenya Wildlife efforts.
Naivasha has become a place where compliance with environmental
regulations is a norm. The hoteliers and the community have demonstrated
a firm commitment to responsible Eco-tourism by eliminating the use of
chemical fertilizer and established the use of composed manure in their
farms.
This has fulfilled a comprehensive series of environmental economic
and social criteria as well as raising awareness about environment.
Together, they also actively promote best practice in waste management,
energy and water conservation. Though there still space for improvement.
This place has become much more than a response to global calls for
sustainable development and has proved that Eco-tourism as long as it’s
implemented properly and transparently can help people in even the
remotest places and make a living in process.
Be a part of it, enjoy hells gate national park and its environs and travel responsibly.
