Hell’s Gate National Park is a compact natural attraction nestled between Lake Naivasha and the Longonot and Suswa volcanoes, offering a breath-taking escape from the city bustle of Nairobi. With its name derived from the powerful geothermal activities within, Hell’s Gate National Park stands as a remarkable part of the Great Rift Valley. Its breathtaking landscapes, comprising towering cliffs, gorges carved by water, stark rock towers, volcanoes adorned with scrub, and wafts of geothermal steam make it one of Africa’s most ambient parks. Hell’s Gate serves as the ideal setting for a day excursion from Nairobi where walking and biking are permitted.

Good small natural park for hiking or biking - Park views are great, many animals all herbivorous, so you are allowed to walk on the ground. Recommended to have a local guide as many places might be dangerous on your one. It is a Masai area and souvenirs can be purchased close to the gorge. Even though the gorge was temporarily closed, the views are worth it. Biking can get hard on the way back as you go up the slope, but perfectly possible. Get a good tour operator is a must ! the one selected by Viator page arrived 1 hour late, did not have water and I had to pay the vehicle and the driver/guide entrance, rather strange when the offer did not say so. Would not choose again GTT Africa as a tour operator, there are plenty other options. Besides that the trip is good for the hour and a half from Nairobi. The best time to do boating at Naivasha lake is in the morning from 8 to 10 best hours to see animals, noon, rainy or windy days are not good for that. Boats have no roof, so take sunscreen, hat and water to drink. Another good time is sunset, but be ready for bugs and changing weather. It is not possible to walk around the lake, only boating there. All the same enjoy it !!
