Highly recommend - Driver Sam was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire trip. On the first day, he assisted me with getting a local SIM card and exchanging currency, which made everything much easier. He was always respectful of our preferences and gave us the flexibility to enjoy the tour at our own pace. His driving was safe and smooth, and he also shared interesting information about the places we visited. Thanks to him, the whole experience was very comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend Sam as a driver for anyone visiting Kenya!

A day well spent - Loved all parts of this tour, from the hike through Hell’s Gate to the boat trip on Lake Naivasha. Sam, our driver, Robert, our tour guide at Hell’s Gate, and Jeffrey, our boat captain at Lake Naivasha, were all amazing. Would recommend you ride a bike to the gorge at Hell’s Gate and then take your (hired) vehicle back to the start. You’ll get the full experience with enough time to still do the boat trip. An excellent experience.

Great experience! - My family and I had an amazing time on this Hell’s Gate tour! The gorges were such a beautiful sight to see. The company crew that traveled with us for the day were great as well, definitely recommend this adventure during your stay.
Don’t forget to wear comfy shoes for the hike (; & the extra boat ride is definitely worth it if you are deciding if you should add it on or not!

Highly Recommend! - My contact at the company, Liz, was really FABULOUS. Kept in contact with me by WhatsApp during my long trip from USA to Nairobi, just in case my flights were delayed. I really appreciated that. Also adjusted the pick-up time, so I could have time for breakfast beforehand. The driver was also very good. Punctual, friendly, informative. The visit to Hell's Gate was also very good, with animals and interesting geology. Would highly recommend.

I had a beautiful experience. Visited the national park and Hells gate. Both were highly enlightening and educative! - My arrival as a first time visitor to Kenya had a good welcome from my pickup driver (Kelvin). He not only drove, but took time to explain the country, the routes and culture. Kelvin is a great driver and company.
Enjoyed every bit of the experience at Hells gate. My driver (Sam) was punctual, professional, friendly and very very helpful. He made every bit of my tour a delightful experience. He was a total delight. Played Nigerian music on the way to give us a feel of home , went out of his way to provide us with WIFI on the trip, and even helped us bargain at the markets.
I greatly applaud Sam and recommend him a 100times.

You have to live this experience ! - Me and my friend did a safari with Alex, it was one of our best experiences. He took care to show us everything that interested us, to make stops as long as we wanted and all that with a lot of explanations and an incredible good mood! We saw rhinos, giraffes, crocodiles, hippopotamus, buffaloes, antelopes, lion... And especially A BABY LION. Thank you very much for this moment, it was incredible.
