Manageable trip from Nairobi, well worth it! - Very well organized and fun day. Driver and tour guide, Patrick, is one of a kind and wonderful at his job. He was diligent, welcoming, and lovely to talk to. He picked me up from my guest house exactly on time at 7am and kept us going throughout the day until drop off around 4. He was very informative about the region, the park and the lake. This tour was both accommodating and relaxed while also well timed and professional. Would recommend!

Biking - This trip was more than what I imagine. You will have the opportunity to ride bikes amongst animals. Most of the animals you will see and the scenery you will see will be a part of your Lion King childhood memory movie. The tour guides make sure we were safe and well taken care of. I would book them again if I ever visited Nairobi again.

Great Trip - This should be on the bucket list on your visit to Nairobi. This was my first bike ride in 9 years and to do it as part of safari with spectacular views of the gorge populated by giraffes, zebras and antelopes; is a once in a lifetime experience. Gomez did a great job as tour guide. He constantly checked if I was fine and gave me a push when my bike couldn't accelerate for some reason. Then you cap the day off with a boat ride off Lake Naivasha which was just scenic. David was a good driver who shared valuable insights about the wildlife. He even stopped on the way to the National Park, so we can get shots of the Great Rift Valley.

Lovely day trip to Hell's Gate - Great way to spend a day away from Nairobi. The experience of cycling past herds of zebras, impalas, giraffes, and elands is truly one of a kind. David, the driver, was very professional and Gomez, the guide, had lots of interesting insights to share about the area and its wildlife.

Breathtaking experience - Amazing experience. Breathtaking views. Guides are very thoughtful and kind. Only item I would have wished I had brought is a cushion for the bicycle.

Life changing! - Our day started off perfectly when Patrick picked us up, and the adventure began right away. On the way to Hell’s Gate, he stopped at an incredible overlook where we learned all about the valley and the surrounding mountains. We absolutely loved seeing more of Kenya—especially all the zebras and baboons just casually hanging out along the way. It felt magical! When we arrived at Hell’s Gate, we were welcomed by our amazing tour guide, Innocent, who led us on a bike ride to the gorge. He truly made the experience unforgettable with his jokes, warmth, and great sense of humor. I’m not used to riding a bike, and he was so patient and encouraging the entire time. On top of that, he shared so much fascinating history about the gorge and the wildlife that lives there. After exploring the gorge, Patrick drove us to the beautiful Lake Naivasha, and we wrapped up the day with an incredible meal at a delicious restaurant. Thank you so much to Innocent and Patrick for giving us a day we’ll never forget!
