Matthew – Japan

This was a very worthwhile tour! Cycling through a national park offers a completely different experience to going in a van, and we thoroughly enjoyed the more relaxing pace and feeling more ‘at one’ with the wildlife. Charles, our cycling guide, could not have been better - he even provided a tandem bicycle as one of our group was having difficulty with the normal bikes. The afternoon boat tour on Lake Naivasha is optional, but I strongly recommend doing it. As well as loads of birds, we got to see a hippo emerge from the water about ten metres away from our boat - an unforgettable sight! The journey to Hell’s Gate was smooth and enjoyable, and our overall guide for the day (Peter) was very well-organised, pleasant and interesting. An excellent tour in all respects!

Great great trip, we had an amazing time. The bike trip is fun and such a unique way to experience the wildlife. The valley we then hiked to is the inspiration for the Lion King scene mufasa dies in - it’s a beautiful place. The boat ride was fun too and worth the extra money - a loooot of Hippos to be seen too. I would strongly recommend this whole tour.
