Rift Valley Province - we will stop over at the great rift valley view point.
Originally named the ‘Great Rift Valley’ by British Explorer John Walter Gregory, the Rift Valley is a geographic stretch extending 6000km across the Middle East and Africa from Jordan to Mozambique. The valley encapsulates tremendous changes in topographic diversity with its scarps and volcanoes, lakes, ancient granitic hills, flat desert landscapes and coral reefs and islets. The astounding view, as you approach from Nairobi, Kenya is quite unbelievable. To show you just how expansive the rift is, the ground unexpectedly disappears from under you, extending thousands of kilometers in either direction. An excellent starter to the Kenyan Rift Valley, it may appear, the most amazing part of this experience is sinking deeper to explore the Lake System of the Rift.

Driver NURU & Guide LEKI scored a slam dunk 💯 - My last day in Kenya 🇰🇪 became my best day in Kenya 🇰🇪😇
The day began with me meeting my AMAZING driver Nuru! It was refreshing to meet such a wonderful happy go lucky 🍀 individual! His attention to detail and kindness was amazing!
Upon arriving to our destination, I had the pleasure to meet my AMAZING guide LEKI!
This young man with his winning spirit was way beyond my expectations! Leki’s knowledge of Hell’s Gate animals, history and ecosystem was highly impressive!
LEKI proved that being a hands on leader was way beyond anything that I could have ever have read about in a book!
If you happen to be in Kenya 🇰🇪 and don’t mind a little sweat 😓, please look up Nuru and LEKI for a AMAZING Kenya 🇰🇪 Adventure 👍

Awesome day to Hell’s Gate and Lake Navaisha with Jimmy - I joined a one-day tour to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate. My driver guide was Jimmy who worked responsibly and professionally throughout the day. He patiently answered all my questions about everything here and I was really happy that a local shares so much about how life here is. That is really rewarding - as someone from far away, I want to visit the spots, but other than that knowing people and their cultures makes the experience more eye-opening and worthwhile. Jimmy is truly friendly and accommodating. Would definitely him as a guide.
The guide at Hell’s Gate Victor and John during the boat ride were nice too.

Highly Recommend the Day Tour to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate Park - Made an online inquiry and received detailed information and confirmations via email and What’s App. Jimmy was an excellent driver. He communicated well and arrived on time for pickup. Once at Hell’s Gate, he helped select a bicycle for cycling and paired me with a knowledgeable guide to tour Hell’s Gate. Jimmy was there waiting when I returned from the Hell’s Gate tour; no need to call or message to find. Then, went to lunch and the boat ride at Lake Naivasha. Jimmy checked throughout the day to make sure that I was having a good time and if anything was needed.

Amazing Hell’s Gate Tour – Biking Through the National Park ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Hell’s Gate is wild and beautiful—towering cliffs, open plains, and a gorge carved by time. We biked 18 km through it, spotting zebras, giraffes, baboons, impalas, buffalo, & rock hyraxes.
Our guide, Edward, shared not just the route, but his deep knowledge of the land and local culture. The hike and climb through the gorge felt like stepping into another world.
A powerful way to experience the landscape and spirit of this place.

We had a great time at... - We had a great time at Hell's Gate National Park with Isaac and the guides in the park! Isaac was prompt and communicative, picking us up on time at our hotel. He was very knowledgeable of Nairobi and the country in general. Once we got to the park, we had an incredible time biking around and walking through the gorge. We saw a ton of wildlife - giraffes, zebras, impalas, baboons, etc. Afterwards, Isaac took us to a lunch spot which was great too. All in all, excellent tour!

Perfect Day with Perfect Safaris - I went to Hell‘s Gate national park for a safari bike tour and was not deceived: led by the park guide, another tourist and I discovered the volcano-shaped landscape, beautiful bolder rocks and the mesmerizing fauna in the midst of the small canyon-like scenery. Continuing by foot ins more protected zone, we also got to see the sceneries that inspired the movie makers of Tomb Raider II and the Lion King.
Many many thanks to Nuru from Perfect Safaris for picking me up in he morning and bringing me to the sights. We had a joyful car ride and both interesting and heart-warming talks along the way! Nitarudi tena, if God is willing 🙏🏾
