Description
Discover the natural beauty of Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha on a day trip from Nairobi. Cycle through the park to see zebras, gazelle, and more, and enjoy a guided hike.
Travelers with limited time in Nairobi can still experience the country’s famous rural landscape on this full-day safari tour to Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha. Zip around by bike to see zebras, gazelle, and more, then embark on a guided hike for a more intimate glimpse of the flora and fauna. Return transfer from your Nairobi hotel ensures a seamless trip, plus park fees and cycle hire comes included in the price.
Begin with 6am pickup from your hotel or residence in Nairobi, then travel to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park, with a break to get views of the Great Rift Valley from a scenic overlook along the way. Upon arriving in the park at roughly 8.30 am, begin a 2-hour, guided bike tour: watch for herds of Thompson’s gazelle, eland, zebra, and hartebeest as you ride. Keep an eye on the sky throughout the tour, as Hell’s Gate National Park is home to more than 100 species of birds, including Verreaux’s eagles, augur buzzards, vulture, and swifts.
Continue on foot into the park’s distinctive gorges, where narrow passageways and caves are sunk into sedimentary rock. After a 1-hour walk, stop by a local Maasai community to learn about traditional life and customs in the Great Rift Valley, then head to Naivasha Fisherman’s camp for lunch (own expense).
