Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha Day Trip - We had a wonderful day with day2daysafari! Our tour guide Eric did an awesome job! He picked us up on time and was kind and helpful through the trip. We had the added bonus of visiting the Great Rift Valley. The views were great and the coffee was delicious (and I don't even like coffee so that's saying a lot)! We had an awesome time on the gorgeous lake, seeing all of the animals and our boat captain was excellent. The trip ended with a fantastic trip to the park. Beleive it or not our guide at park (James) was also amazing. Overall this was by far my favorite activity of my entire trip to Kenya. Do yourself a favor and book this trip!

The boat trip was beautiful as well. We saw hippos and a ton of wildlife! Eric was on time picking us up and very accommodating. Definitely would do this again!!

Breathtaking scenery & wildlife on a superb day trip out of Nairobi - A superb day trip out of Nairobi, especially if you’re looking to make the most of a short amount of time. By the end of it I felt like I’d seen a huge amount both in terms of scenery and wildlife, and yet the day never felt rushed. My guide and driver for the day, Erick, was very well organised, easy to get on with, and made the day run without a hitch, while my guide for Hell’s Gate, David, was an absolute star who clearly loves what he does. 

 And of course, the scenery and wildlife were breathtaking - hippos, giraffes, buffalo, zebra, eagles and a lot else besides. Highly recommended!

Pleasant, but avoid Crescent Camp at all costs - The hell’s gate and lake Naivasha boat tour experiences were pleasant. Festus was a good driver and took care of us. This tour is 3* because it isn’t quite a tour. You get yourself a good driver; and they will bring you to the 2 locations. However, once you get there it is pretty much the venue operator who defines your experience, and the entry fees and tips are all out of pocket. Hell’s gate was a highlight as we had Victor as our community guide. The boat tour we had Shadrack and he was very good at steering us in the waters. However; our experience in Crescent Camp is that they will overcharge you if they can. Prices are scribbled on paper and the cost of fishing is ridiculous, and not what they initially communicated. I would not recommend Crescent Camp if you are coming for this tour. Their life jackets are a complete joke. They are ALL spoiled. Extremely unprofessional and frankly, unacceptable. Also, at crescent camp you have to bring hard dollars if you don’t have mpesa. They do not accept credit cards. I was told only in the morning before departure but had mpesa but had no issues, but it could be an issue for you.

Abad day - For the amount of money I paid nothing was covered at the lake or hellsgate. We didn’t go in to hello gate the cost was too much per person. The lunch wasn't that good either it was cold.
