Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha Adventure

Meet your tour guide in Nairobi and begin the journey to Hell's Gate National Park. It is one of Kenya's smaller national parks and one of the few that can be explored on foot. A game walk or an optional bicycle ride among gracefully grazing gazelles, large antelopes, zebras, and giraffes is a delightful experience.
