About This Tour
What makes a tour to Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha truly unique is the rare opportunity to experience wildlife and dramatic landscapes up close and on foot or by bike, unlike traditional game drives. Hell’s Gate is one of the only national parks in Kenya where you can walk or cycle among zebras, giraffes, and gazelles, with towering cliffs, gorges, and volcanic rock formations creating a cinematic backdrop (it even inspired scenes in The Lion King). Combined with a serene boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where you glide past pods of hippos and watch fish eagles dive for their catch, the trip offers a perfect contrast of adventure and relaxation — all within a single day. It’s this mix of active exploration, raw nature, and tranquil beauty that sets the experience apart. Entry fee to Hell's Gate, boat ride in Lake Naivasha ($25) and bike hiring fee ($15) are not added in the price of the tour.
