Disney’s The Lion King animators derived inspiration from Hell’s Gate National Park, a region spanning approximately 26 square miles (68.25 square kilometers). This park, named after a break in the red-hued cliffs shaped by a prehistoric lake’s fluid course, is the only one in East Africa where you have the freedom to leave your safari vehicle and explore on foot.
Unforgettable experiences include cycling across its vast plains and viewing the vibrant wildlife in their natural surroundings, or walking along the majestic gorge.
Furthermore, a boat ride on Lake Naivasha not only offers tranquil breezes for relaxation, but also a unique chance to observe thousands of hippos and various bird species.

Great experience on Hells Gate National Park day trip! - Highly recommend this day tour! Calvin was amazing in navigating around the roads and providing helpful and interesting information throughout the ride. Other members of his team were really great at providing tour tips through the national park and the lake as well. It was a full day tour (close to 11 hours with the drive/traffic) so their efforts were definitely impressive and much appreciated.

Must do in Kenya! No other place where you can say you biked with animals all around and the lion king gorge is great! - Such a unique experience unlike anywhere else. In a game drive, you’re sitting all day in a jeep like we did during our safari in Maasai Mara but here you’re active and seeing the landscapes and animals. Who can say they’ve biked with wildlife all around? You surely can if you do this tour! We saw zebras, baboons, impala, buffalo, warthogs, baboons, birds, giraffe, birds, etc. And the hike in the lion king gorge is simply fantastic. I could hear lion king theme songs up there haha! Finally about the agency itself — the tour provider was responsive, Calvin our driver was funny and considerate with a comfortable car, as is our guide during the bike tour in hells gate, then the restaurant we ate in for lunch was delicious - best food in Kenya we’ve tried in 2 weeks. Must do if you have the time, it’s just a truly unique experience that I can’t recommend enough! My heart is happy

Hell’s Gate turned into HEAVEN - Douglas is an absolute legend.
Very warm and helpful, but also fun. Shared sooo many stories, and info about Kenya and their culture.
Such great fun conversations.
Over and above being such a great person to be around, the tour was smooth and perfectly executed. He took care of our every need, played some Swahili/African music for us in the car, helped arrange lunch to exactly fit our timings.
200% recommend taking a day tour/safari with Douglas and Caraluxe Safaris.
