Fun day trip from Nairobi! - This was such a fun day trip out of Nairobi! Transportation to and from the park was easy and the bike ride within Hell's Gate was really a fun way to see animals (and get some exercise in)!

Great adventure! - Great trip with Frank and Patrick. I got to see a lot of different areas in Hells gate and take a ton of photos. Lake Naivasha was also great. I’d do this again!

Very nice trip - Very nice trip. We enjoyed it very much. The two very nice guides Isaac and Patrick did everything to offer us a wonderful day. We were picked up directly from our hotel in Nairobi by car. Getting to the bike rental took about 2.5 hours. Afterwards we started cycling straight away and there are a lot of wonderful things, animals and landscapes to see. Afterwards we went on a boat tour with a very competent captain who explained everything to us. There were a variety of birds, hippos and a giraffe to see. The only negative thing about the trip was the stop at the restaurant. The food wasn't good. Highly recommended trip.

Worthwhile Day Trip - Well Organized & Professional - Enjoyable bike ride with views of local animals, then a short hike for views of the canyon followed by a boat ride on the lake. A day we’ll spent. The staff were warm, reliable, and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Not me having the time of my life….. - I am a solo woman traveler and I’ve had one of these BEST tour experiences!! My guide Isaac and driver Nuru were not only punctual, courteous, and friendly, but the really did make this adventure extremely fun and engaging. I personally was a little salty for not reading how far the bike ride was. Parts of that tour were more advanced for my fitness level, but Isaac encouraged me the entire way and made sure to stick by my side. There was another solo traveler that was added to our bike ride, and Isaac made sure we both were having a good time and had what we needed. Both Nuru and Isaac were so kind to get some really good photos and videos for me and of me. I would do this 1000 times more. Not only was it a unique way to see the safari, but I learned a lot about different counties and tribes. Just to reiterate. I was a solo woman traveler. Both Isaac and Nuru made me feel completely safe and comfortable. It really does make the adventure more enjoyable when you’re being taken care of and not have to worry about safety. I HIGHLY suggest you book this tour. Even better if you’re lucky enough to get Isaac and Nuru as your adventure team!!!

Unique and enjoyable day - Very unique experience being and to ride through the park with the animals. The boat ride in Lake Naivasha was cool too seeing hippos and different birds. My driver Stephen was amazing. Super helpful, but also amazing energy the whole day. Only drawback to the trip was we couldn't explore the Gorge, which I was looking forward to (it's closed due to recurring floods in the area that puts people at risk).

Valley closed for the last five years! - The acces to the Valley have been closed for five years! Its nowhere to be found in the advertising- you even see pictures from the bottom of the canyon- closed for five years now and no signs of opening the years to come
