Naivasha
The town has a total population of 198,444 (2019 census).
The main industry is agriculture, especially floriculture.
Naivasha is also a popular tourist destination. Hell’s Gate National Park (the main locations for The Lion King, including Pride Rock and the Gorge, are modeled after the park), Olkaria Geothermal Spa, Mount Longonot National Park, and Mount Longonot are nearby attractions. Tours also have included Lake Naivasha, to observe birdlife and hippopotamus behavior, as well as other wild animals.
In the late 1970s–1980s Lake Naivasha was overrun with poachers and foreign creatures introduced into the lake to provide fishing.[citation needed] The migratory paths along lake Naivasha were being destroyed by the local rose industry. The naturalist Joan Root (1936–2006), spent the last decade of her life trying to save the lake and its wildlife.
A resort in Naivasha was the location for much of the negotiations of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement ending the Second Sudanese Civil War, commonly known as the “Naivasha Agreement”.
Game Drive
A game drive is an excursion that involves seeing animals while relaxing in a 4×4 open-sided safari vehicle that may seat 4 to 6 people, giving you the sensation of a traditional safari.
One of the most popular ways to see animals in the Masai Mara is on safari game drives.
Hot Air Balloon
A hot air balloon is a lighter-than-air object made up of an envelope-like bag that holds heated air.
A wicker basket, gondola, or capsule suspended below transports people and a heat source, typically an open flame produced by burning liquid propane. A tablet also carries passengers in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons.
Since the warm air inside the envelope has a lower density than the cooler air outside, it is buoyant.
Hot air balloons cannot travel higher than the atmosphere, like all other aircraft types.
Since the air within the envelope is at a similar pressure to the air outside, the bottom of the envelope does not need to be sealed.
Modern sport balloons typically have a nylon fabric envelope, with a fire-resistant material, such as Nomex, near the balloon’s inlet (which is closest to the burner flame).
Although the classic shape is utilized for the majority of non-commercial and many commercial purposes, modern balloons have been created in a variety of designs, including rocket ships and the shapes of numerous commercial objects.

Skiing
Skiing can be a means of transport, a recreational activity or a competitive winter sport in which the participant uses skis to glide on snow. Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Ski Federation (FIS).
Skiing has a history of almost five millennia. Although modern skiing has evolved from beginnings in Scandinavia, it may have been practiced more than 100 centuries ago in what is now China, according to an interpretation of ancient paintings.
The word “ski” is one of a handful of words Norway has exported to the international community. It comes from the Old Norse word “skíð” which means “split piece of wood or firewood”.
