One of the best trips I’ve been to so far. - We loved our trip - the opportunity to cycle through the Hells Gate National Park was one of the best experiences we’ve had in Kenya. It let us savour the moment, listen to the birds and take in the landscapes. A short rock climbing adventure was also bomb! Overall, I really enjoyed the balance between activities and sitting on a boat on Lake Naivasha for 5 minutes allowed us to see more bird species that we get to enjoy in half a year in Germany!

Perfect Day Trip Option from Nairobi - I was in Nairobi for work and had one free day to explore. I’m so happy I booked this tour. The driver, Stephen, was fantastic and full of energy. He picked me up promptly and we began our journey to Hell’s gate, stopping on the way there for a view of the great rift valley and a chance to buy some souvenirs. Next stop was Hells Gate for a bike ride amoung warthogs, zebras, impalas, birds, monkies! Stephen got me there early in the morning so I was pretty much the only one in the park. We also saw more animals because they hadn’t retreated to the shade during the heat of the day. People going to the park later saw a lot less. Hell’s Gate was beautiful but know that it’s a 16km bike ride! In the heat, I struggled on the return journey which was mostly uphill. The guide Kevin was amazing and walked with me when I was tired and needed a biking break. Bring a hat and water! Mid way there is a stunning gorge where Tomb Raider was filmed but it’s been closed since 2019 after some deadly flash floods. The view from the top is still stunning. After the bike ride we drove to Lake Naivasha for a boat ride where I saw more wildlife including giraffes and hippos. After the hot bike ride, the boat ride was refreshing. All in all an epic trip with fantastic guides. I recommend this if you’re looking for a day trip out of the city to see wildlife!

Unforgettable experience - We went on the overnight trip starting with a hike up Mount Longonot. The views were amazing! Next we did the boat ride at Lake Naivasha and got to see some hippos, many birds and ride around the crescent island. The following day went to Hell’s Gate National Park where we did a biking tour. Getting to see the animals up and close was remarkable. Overall it was an unforgettable experience and Isaac our driver made the excursion seamless. Would highly recommend!

Great experience!! - Exceeded our expectations. The beautiful landscapes. Our guide and driver treated us very well, with patience, especially on the return trip by bicycle. Our guide Jaffar helped us with photos and videos. We thought it would be a short bike ride but it was a long one which we liked and we were able to see and learn more. We had to cross a zebra on our way Thank you

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).
