About This Tour
This tour is unique because it combines water-based, cycling, walking, and wildlife experiences in a single day, something few destinations in Kenya offer. Tourists begin with a boat safari on Lake Naivasha, allowing close, uninterrupted viewing of hippos and prolific birdlife—an experience that contrasts sharply with traditional vehicle-only game drives. The transition to Hell’s Gate National Park then introduces a rare opportunity to cycle or walk inside a national park, moving at ground level among giraffes, zebras, and antelopes with no large predators present. The guided walk through Hell’s Gate Gorge, with its geothermal steam vents, towering cliffs, and volcanic formations, adds a strong adventure and geological dimension not found in most safari circuits. Scenic Rift Valley landscapes, hands-on activities, and lunch at a lakeside hotel complete a highly interactive, multi-sensory day trip that blends nature, adventure, and scenery rather than passive sightseeing alone.
