Beautiful scenery with a great guide. - Reagan is an excellent guide. He knows every animal, tree, plant, and story about this park. He also has a few pretty good dad jokes up his sleeve.

The best day trip - Our trip to Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of biking through the breathtaking unflappable of Hell's Gate, exploring the gorges, and a pacific boat ride on Lake Naivasha made for an unforgettable adventure.
The bike tour through Hell's Gate was delight. The park’s vast open spaces, framed by dramatic cliffs and wildlife grazing nearby, offered an unmatched sense of freedom. Seeing zebras, giraffes, and warthogs up close while cycling was an experience I will cherish forever. The terrain was manageable, making it enjoyable even for beginners.The guided walk through the gorges was equally fascinating. Our guide shared fascinating insights about the rock formations, local history, and the geothermal activity in the area. Climbing through narrow pathways and marveling at the natural rock formations felt like stepping into another world.
The day ended with a relaxing boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where we spotted hippos bobbing in the water and a variety of bird species, including majestic fish eagles. The lake's calm waters and picturesque surroundings provided the perfect setting to unroll after an active day.
To make long story short this adventure was a perfect mix of nature, activity, and relaxation. Hell's Gate and Lake Naivasha are a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique outdoor experience in Kenya. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers!

Amazing Bike Tour at Hell's Gate National Park and Boat Ride at Lake Naivasha - I had an incredible experience on the bike tour at Hell's Gate National Park and the boat ride at Lake Naivasha! Our day started with an early pickup from Nairobi, where we were driven to Hell's Gate National Park. Along the way, we made a stop at a scenic viewpoint, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes – it was a perfect way to begin the adventure.
At Hell's Gate, we had the chance to cycle through the park, enjoying the open space, wildlife, and dramatic scenery. The biking was an exciting and unique way to explore the park, and we were fortunate enough to see giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife up close. The guide was knowledgeable and made sure we had plenty of opportunities to ask questions and learn about the area’s history and wildlife.
After the bike tour, we headed to Lake Naivasha for a relaxing boat ride. The ride was serene and peaceful, with stunning views of the lake and its wildlife. We spotted hippos, birds, and other animals along the shore, making the boat ride a memorable addition to the day.
Overall, it was an amazing day filled with adventure, nature, and beautiful landscapes. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the best of Kenya's natural beauty!
