Breathtaking views throughout the day - David was my guide and he arrived at my hotel to pick me up in his very comfortable car. He is a very safe driver for sure. We arrived at the Hell's gate and after getting the ticket, went for a bicycle ride..the views are breathtaking....tons of Zebras, antelopes, deer and giraffes. We took a short walk down to the gorge as well. The bicycle ride is 8 km one way and back and on the way back you are biking uphill for a long time so just beware :) After Hell's gate, I was taken to Lake Naivasha and the boat ride was worth the price tag. We took a boat ride along Crescent Island. The Island is actually a peninsula surrounded by waters of Lake Naivasha. You get to see Gazelles, Impalas, Wildebeests, Dik- Dik, jackals, Giraffes, Zebras, Hippos and waterbucks among others, bird species especially the water birds like Pelicans, Cormorants and stunning view of flora species. On the way back, we stopped for some traditional Kenyan food for lunch and it was delicious. David is very knowledgeable, polite, and a thorough professional. I would highly recommend a trip with him

Everything is perfect. - Perfect journey. The driver and guide are very punctual. Drive 2 hours to Hellgate National Park first. Get on your bike and explore the park with your guide. There are many animals and the peaks are strange. It's not too hard to ride, about an hour to get under the Rift Valley on foot. There's hot spring water, and the water is 60 degrees. This was once the location of the Lion King films. After that drive to Lake Navasa. This is a bird paradise. Explore the lake by boat. $25 a person. The island in the lake is full of animals. Longhorn deer, ostrich, deer. Return to Nairobi after lunch

Amazing trip and the best customer service. - This was the second time I went on this trip, it was great. Mercy is fantastic to help coordinate with for the trip. We had some special requests that she helped us out with, she’s the best to work with. Our driver, Jane was great, she’s a good driver and told us all about Kenya and local customs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to bring my family here in the future. Thank you.

The breathtaking landscapes of Hell’s Gate and the beauty of Lake Naivasha truly captivated us - The other day, I joined a one-day tour from Nairobi to Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha with guide David and driver Josh. This tour was absolutely amazing! David was incredibly knowledgeable and provided detailed explanations about the history, wildlife, and plants at each spot. His passion was evident and made the tour even more enjoyable. He was also very kind in answering all our questions. Josh’s driving skills were excellent. He ensured we arrived safely at each destination while allowing us to fully enjoy the scenic views along the way. Thanks to his driving, I could relax and enjoy the tour with peace of mind. The breathtaking landscapes of Hell’s Gate and the beauty of Lake Naivasha truly captivated us. The cycling experience at Hell’s Gate, in particular, was unforgettable. Being able to see wildlife up close was incredibly moving. Overall, this tour was an extraordinary experience. Thanks to David and Josh, it became a day to remember. Highly recommended!

Fun and unique tour! - Really great experience! Amazing to get out in nature and close to wildlife - biking next to animals was so unique, and the small hike was also a fun expeience. The boat ride was short but got us close to more animals. David and Alex were great guides, and they were super knowledgeable - they could answer any questions I had about the animals and Kenyan culture, and I felt like I was in very capable hands!

Amazing Day Outside of Nairobi - On my first trip to Kenya I also wanted to see what the country was like outside of Nairobi. I debated between this trip to Hells Gate and a short safari in the Nairobi National Park. I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice. The trip was wonderful! Between the bike ride through Hells Gate Park and the hike through the Gorge, every view was amazing. So many animals to see - some very close. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha to see the hippos was likewise a great experience. So many thanks to my wonderful guide Joash - he really helped to make it a wonderful trip. One last note - as a woman traveling alone I felt completely safe throughout the day. I enjoyed every bit!!

Wonderful experience of Kenyan nature - Thanks to Stephen and Moses, my road trip was fun!! The bike ride was amazing and the guide at the park was very supportive even to push me behind so that I can get the gate safely. For advise, bring small snacks and umbrella in case of rain.

Everything you imagine a biking safari to be and more - Jane our driver doubled as a tour guide - she was professional and enthusiastically answered our questions about the area while we drove to the park. Hells Gate is a fantastic park - note that the bike ride is 8 km, one way, and the way back is a bit uphill. You'll also be taken on a hike through a gorge that is beautiful, full of both hot and cold springs coming from the rock formation. Be prepared to descend into the bottom through winding, sometime slippery rocks, including a 3 ft jump onto rock. You'll climb many, many steps at the end to get out of the gorge. I mention this to be prepared with your footwear and your level of comfort with a very active endeavor. DEFINITELY stay on for the boat tour - wow wow wow to not only the animals and plant diversity but the birds, absolutely spectacular.

Pleasant one day trip - Very pleasant trip. Got to see lots of animals at Hell's gate national park. The gorge is beautiful. Naivasha lake and Crescent island is home to a wide range of birds and animals. It was nice to see them close at hand.
