Great solo trip to Hell's and Naivasha! - I visited Hells National Park and Lake Naivasha on my own and was great! Victor Okello, the driver and guide, came to pick mi up in the hotel, very punctual, very good driver and explained me some things about Kenya and the park along the way. Then I visited the park and lake with two local guides, also very attentive! The landscape and animals are wonderful. It was a great experience that I would undoubtedly repeat!

Well organised and peaceful day out to National Park and Lake Naivasha. - Thank you to Peter for such a well organized and cool day out to Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha. He was engaging, friendly with lots of facts along the journey. Charles who took over for the biking section was full of knowledge to impart too. From being picked up from the airport to dropped off at hotel everything was so organized. The schedule was even adaptable to visit the hot springs as well. Really enjoyed the day and would recommend!

Excellent! - There were many highlights to this trip. Nicodemus was my driver and he proved to be incredibly engaging, pleasant, informative, and joy to converse with. My guide in hells gate park was Charles and he was very attentive, informative, and engaging. We were able to get very close to zebras, giraffes, and monkeys while also seeing various types of gazelles, wart hogs, and water Buffalo. On the boat tour, it’s easy to spot hippos in the water and it was interesting to learn the history of Crescent Island. The whole process from booking, to being picked up at my hotel, to the activities, to the staff, and to the delivery back to my hotel was excellent. I highly recommend this trip (and specifically Nicodemus for driving and Charles for the bike tour).
