excellent choice - I had an absolutely excellent experience visiting Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha. The entire trip exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and I felt genuinely cared for throughout the journey. The combination of breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and the unique experience of exploring Hell’s Gate made for an unforgettable day. Lake Naivasha was equally beautiful and offered a wonderful opportunity to experience Kenya’s natural beauty up close. As a solo female traveler, I also want to highlight how comfortable and safe I felt at all times. I was treated with professionalism, kindness, and respect throughout the trip, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kenya. It was truly one of the highlights of my time here.

Amazing Trip to Hells Gate! - I had an amazing experience visiting Hell’s Gate National Park. Everything from start to finish was well organized, enjoyable, and exceeded my expectations. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the opportunity to experience the park up close made the trip even more memorable. What truly stood out was the quality of the guides. Every guide I interacted with was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about sharing information about the park and its wildlife. They made the experience both educational and fun, always willing to answer questions and ensure everyone had a great time. I highly recommend Hell’s Gate to anyone visiting Kenya. Whether you’re interested in nature, wildlife, hiking, cycling, or simply taking in incredible views, this park offers something special. Thank you to all the guides and staff for making my visit such a fantastic experience!

Biking, hiking and fun at Hell’s Gate Lake Nvasha - This was exactly the safari experience I wanted. Having lived in Southern Africa I have done many Safaris but the thing that made it special was biking and being outside, out of a safari truck. Patrick picked me up exactly on time and was knowledgeable, friendly and curious. Reagan, who lead the biking and gorge walk, was also very impressive. I learned many things and was certainly enamored by the experience. I loved the boating on lake Nevada, regretfully, I missed the boat operator’s name but he lead a fantastic tour. Really great!

A day of learning, adventure and kindness - I was lucky to have a fantastic driver, David. We engaged in lively conversation that helped me understand current day Kenya, and the history that informs it. He connected me with Frederick, for a bicycle tour of Hell's Gate, an experience I will always remember. Frederick was incredibly well-informed about the history, geology and wildlife of this area, and shared his warmth and knowledge of traditions from his cultural heritage. His patience and courteous nature made the day flow seamlessly. The boat tour of Lake Naivasha was delightful and a beautiful way to end the day. Altogether, it was a truly inspiring and unforgettable day!

Great day trip from Nairobi - This was an amazing excursion. Hells Gate is about a two hour drive from Nairobi and so worth it to take a day trip. We opted to do the bikes, and it’s 8km one way. It’s not too bad but bring enough water and dress appropriately. The scenery is beautiful and you can see zebras, warthogs, giraffe, as well as other animals. We had Reagan as our guide and he was great. At the end of the 8km, he took us into the Gorge. The bike ride back was a bit harder as it’s uphill but it’s worth it. Patrick was our driver and he was so friendly, kind, and able to accommodate to some last minute things we wanted to do. He took us to the optional boat ride at Lake Naivasha which I also recommend. We decided last minute to do Crescent island and I’m so glad we did as you are able to walk among the wildlife. It was very Jurassic park. Victor was our guide there and he was so great and answered all our questions regarding the animals. If you’re looking for a great day trip from Nairobi, do this, you will not regret it.

Exciting day in Hells Gate national park and on the lake - Amazing day trip to Hells Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha. We had a fantastic day not least due to our informative and good humoured guides Patrick and Reagan. Loved cycling through the park seeing zebras, giraffe, warthogs and lots more. The gorge was beautiful and the pictures we took are stunning. Capt Steve was a superb boat tour operator and we saw many different birds and wildlife on Lake Naivasha, including hippos. The lunch stop was very nice too, and the food and service perfect. All in all we had a wonderful day out - thank you Patrick and Reagan!

Great way to see some animals! - The day was fantastic overall. Hells Gate was wonderful, the rocks were beautiful, the biking was hard work (especially on the way back). We got to see zebra, gazelle, and impala. The lake ride was also amazing, we saw so many different birds, hippos, and even giraffes! The only downsides were the following: The drive was a little long (there was some traffic), we ended up spending more than expected. After already having paid for the activity, we were brought to a very touristy souvenir shop, we had a different guide for the bike tour so we paid tip there, another guide for the boat tour, more tip there and then tip for our driver.

Beautiful trip but be weary of the vendors - My tour guides were perfect! Jane was my driver and she was so kind and informative. Gomez was my e-bike guide and again he was also kind and informative. The boat guide was also good! I got lucky and saw hippos and flamingos at crescent island. I also got lucky in the morning at Hells gate because all the animals were close to the trail. This is my fault obviously but I got a little sunburnt so bring sunscreen! The only damper on this trip was the stop at Grift Valley when that speaker tried to charge me 9800 shillings or $75 for 4 items in his souvenir shack. It was almost disrespectful how much he was trying to get out of me. I negotiated down to 2500 shillings / $20 for 2 items, which is still way too much.. I expected to pay foreigner prices and to negotiate a little but holy cow. I think that guys name was David. I would suggest to not even stop at grift valley. I don’t think that stop was worth it and it almost felt like the guides had some sort of deal with these vendors that they will bring foreigners to them. It was the same at Hells Gate. I said multiple times that I don’t want any souvenirs and I was still made to walk by the Mesai women vendors. They were less aggressive but David from Grift Valley made it so I will never stop at any shack in Kenya again.
