About this tour

Hell's Gate is one of the few national parks in Kenya you can explore on a bicycle or on foot, since it has no large predators. Ride past zebras, giraffes and buffalo beneath towering red cliffs, then hike down into the narrow gorge with a local guide — the landscape helped inspire The Lion King.

After a night by the lake, spend the second morning on Lake Naivasha. Take a boat ride to see hippos and fish eagles up close, and add a walking safari on Crescent Island, where you can stroll among giraffes, zebras and wildebeest.

This trip is great for families, friends and corporate groups. Groups of eight or more get a lower per-person rate — contact us for a quote.
