One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife.

This trip was great, good value for money and two interesting excursions. The bike ride was 8k through Hells Gate to a gorge seeing animals en route, then a gorge walk and an 8k ride back. The ride back was relatively rough given heat and a little up hill! We paid the extra for the boat ride and it was worth it. We were expecting to maybe see a few birds but there is an island full of animals and we got close to hippos. Only feedback would be that we knew lunch wasn’t included, and that was fine, but we thought it odd we got taken to a buffet place where there was limited option and we weren’t told the price until after. There appeared to be a restaurant right next door where we could order what we wanted from a menu which we would have preferred. I think this was because someone else on the trip booked through another platform were lunch was included and therefore they just took us to the buffet too.

I had the best day on this tour - which ended up being just me, so felt like a private tour! The guide was really friendly, informative and super helpful for any questions/requests I had. I had a prompt pick up from my accomodation and was first taken to a viewpoint for the Great Rift Valley, then Hells Gate for a bike tour where I met other travellers, then Olkaria Geothermal Spa (which is not part of the original tour but my guide was happy to take me for a reasonable add on price!), lunch and then finally a boat ride on Lake Naivasha - which was simply beautiful and a great unique way to spot wildlife! I was dropped off at my apartment safely in the early evening - brimming full of the wonderful memories of the day! I highly recommend these guys - an affordable and friendly service! Asante sana rafikiii!

I did enjoy this trip really much; firstly Mesheck was a great driver and amazing person; He picked me up exactly on time from the hotel; the first part of the trip was biking through Hell’s Gate, this was a great activity, because I enjoy some physical excercise but also because you ride through the valley where you pass several animals including giraffes and zebras. The valley is full os great rock formations; then we had some lubch and right after it there was a boat ride through Lake Naivasha, and this was really awesome, you get next to several birds species but also other animals like hippos; I recommend this trip to everyone

We had a great time on our Hell's Gate tour! Johnson was prompt, helpful, friendly, and a safe driver. We went on a boat tour to lake naivasha, a bike ride into Hell's Gate, and also a hike into the gorge. We had two additional guides for those activities and they were also wonderful. It was an educational and adventurous day! I would recommend bringing cash or having an MPesa account before the trip and note that to get into the park they only take MPesa.

Amazing tour containing the best locations to see in Kenya Our guide John was the best ever, always taking care of us but also leaving us enjoy the trip our way, very respectful All the tour is very safe Be ready to spend many hours in the car and wake up early, but it's worth it as you can see many parts of the area the tour is very organized with precise times to be ready every day
