Great way to see some safari animals - I did this tour today and loved it! My driver, Nuru, picked me up from my hotel and was full of chat for the drive, his car was also very comfy which was great as it’s 2 hours each way. When we got to Hell’s Gate park it turned out it was just me on the tour so I ended up getting private tour. Jared was my park guide for the bike tour & gorge walk, he was also so friendly and able to answer all my questions & gave me lots of extra information on both the park & animals.
As it was just myself on the tour (solo female traveller) I felt completely at ease from start to finish. It was just like hanging out with friends for the day, so much chat & laughs!

A peaceful way to see wildlife and beautiful views - I had a great time. My driver Nuru was very kind and informative and my guides at the park and boat were also very nice and knowledgeable. The views were beautiful and it was so peaceful to cycle past giraffes and zebras grazing. As a solo female traveler I felt safe and would recommend to others.

Lots of amazing memories were made - Had an amazing day, cycling through Hell's Gate is so much fun ( just make sure you put lots of suncream on your arms), climibing looked like a lot of fun, unfortunately, we couldn't do it as own son had cast on his arm, Lake Naivasha was wonderful, our boy fed pelicans and eagles, and was even allowed to drive motor boat a little bit, made his day ! Loved walk on Crescent island, animals arent scared of humans at all and you can stand next to zebra or giraffe. Really wonderful day and great memories. Were picked up on time, no issues with the company and special thank you to Mercy, who is always on whatsup and helps with any questions that you might have. Would highly recommend.

Unforgettable Solo Safari with amazing guide. - I had an amazing trip with Africa Beast Tours and Safaris! The wild animal encounters and stunning sceneries were unforgettable. The organization was top-notch. I'm especially grateful to Nuru, my careful and joyful driver-guide whom make this 1 day solo trip unbelievable, and Frederik, my guide in Hell’s Park, who was helpful and a great storyteller. Highly recommend !

Amazing day trip from Nairobi - I did a full day trip with Patrick as my driver who took me from Nairobi to Hell's Gate and then onto Lake Naivasha and back.
Patrick picked me up on time and was an excellent driver, navigating the busy streets of Nairobi. Along the way Patrick chatted about lots of Kenya history and interesting facts. We stopped at a viewpoint of the great rift valley and had the opportunity to purchase souvenirs (but there was no pressure to purchase).
We arrived at Hell's Gate on time and there I met my guide Reagan for a bike tour of Hell's Gate. Reagan was a very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife within it and he was an excellent guide. Reagan then took me to walk through the Njorowa Gorge (this has only just reopened following a prolonged closure). The gorge was fascinating and again, Reagan had lots of knowledge about the surroundings. Reagan also took lots of photos for me, which, as a solo traveller, was much appreciated.
I met up again with Patrick who drove me to a local hotel restaurant where we ordered food. We took a 1 hour boat ride on Lake Naivasha whilst the food was, cooked. We saw many many birds, hippos and also went to look at crescent island and the many wildlife on there. The food at the restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced.
We then made the journey back to Nairobi arrrivng back around 5pm, again, Patrick was an excellent driver and I felt very safe.
Overall I would give the tour 10/10 and both of the guides were excellent.

Great one day trip but be ready to cycle 8km! - Patrick was a fantastic companion on the whole trip. He brought us from the hotel to Hell’s gate. We had some delays in the trip but he was nice to bring us back in peak hour traffic. At hells gate,we met Victor who was a terrific young chap. He was very smiley and patient with us while we rode slowly on our bicycles. Patrick was helpful to provide tips with anything we asked about Nairobi. Highly recommended!

Amazing tour and guide! - WOW!! What an amazing experience. As a female traveling alone, I was very apprehensive to book this tour. My tour guide Issac was the most profesional, knowledgeable, amiable and helpful guy! He made me comfortable after the first 5 minutes of meeting him! The company made sure and communicated with me about tour details before the tour. Highly recommend Issac!!
