Hell’s Gate National Park & Lake Naivasha Tour

The adventure commences early morning with pickup in your location, as our travelers board the designated tour vehicle amidst the awakening hues of the city. The journey toward the Great Rift Valley promises scenic views, with the vast landscapes stretching out, punctuated by acacia trees and the far-off horizon. By mid-morning, we reach Hell’s Gate National Park, where the rugged terrain and dramatic rock formations immediately capture our attention. We start with a trek through the park’s iconic gorges, feeling the warmth of geothermal activity underfoot, and marveling at the natural wonders sculpted by time. Post the trek, those eager for an adrenaline rush can hop onto bicycles, riding through the park and potentially racing alongside playful antelopes.

On foot continue to the park’s distinctive gorges, where narrow passageways and caves are sunk into sedimentary rock. This walk will take about 40-60 minutes. After head for lunch (own expense), then proceed to Lake Naivasha.

The lake, renowned for its birdlife, provides a haven for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. Spot the hippos that linger just at the surface of the water and see some of the diverse birdlife; Kingfishers, Egrets, Cormorants, the African fish eagles, African spoonbill, and little grebe are all common here.

Enjoy an optional gentle boat ride on the lakes’s placid freshwater expanse, where visitors are surrounded by lush greenery and the distant silhouette of volcanic mountains. As the boat sails, the lake springs to life, with hippos occasionally emerging from the depths, their eyes and nostrils peeking above the water’s surface, and a cacophony of bird calls filling the air.
