About this activity

Explore Hell's Gate National Park on a full-day adventure that lets you drive, walk, and cycle through dramatic gorges and wildlife habitat, then cool off with a boat safari on Lake Naivasha to spot hippos and water birds. This is Kenya's only national park where you can experience multiple activity modes in one visit.

Enjoy a day tour visiting Hell's Gate National Park, the only park where you can drive, walk and do some cycling  within the Park then spice up your excursion with a boat ride in Lake Naivasha where you get a chance to spot the big hippos on the shores of the lake and different species of water bird.

Highlights

  • ✓Walk or cycle within the park at your own pace
  • ✓Spot zebras, buffalos, giraffes, and other wildlife up close

Insider tips

  • ★Bring plenty of water and sun protection—the gorge offers little shade and the sun reflects intensely off volcanic rock
  • ★Wear sturdy walking or cycling shoes; trails can be rocky and uneven
  • ★Early morning visits (before 9 AM) offer better wildlife visibility and cooler temperatures
  • ★The boat ride is calmer in the dry season; hippos are more active in early morning and late afternoon

  • •Bring a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable walking/cycling clothes
  • •Cycling within the park is available but fitness level required varies; confirm difficulty with operator
