Did you know: At just 400 bob you can soak in Africa's one-of-a-kind spa at Olkaria, Naivasha

Olkaria Geothermal spa belongs to KenGen

Kenyans flocked Naivasha over Jamhuri Day celebrations and will visit again during Christmas and New Year. Among other places, most will throng the Olkaria Geothermal Spa in Hell’s Gate National Park - the setting of the Lion King film, and so called because of a narrow break in the cliff, once a tributary from where unfortunate human beings were fed into a prehistoric lake.

Since the spa is in a national park, you will have to part with Sh700 park fee for yourself and Sh350 for the jalopy (less than six seats) for those among us who buy more tyres than shoes. Then there is another Sh400 fee to use the spa.
You will see Kenyans swimming in the spa, although it’s meant for relaxation and sitting kidete. But ushamba never leaves most of us, no matter how far from home we travel!
