Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
La visite commence par une prise en charge à 7 heures du matin à votre hôtel de Nairobi. Le voyage descend la vallée du Grand Rift en s'arrêtant au point de vue pour la photographie. Arrivée à Hells Gate vers 9h30. Commencez la visite à vélo à Hell's Gate pendant environ 3 heures. Faire du vélo dans le parc est une grande aventure puisque vous parcourez 8 kilomètres à vélo avant de vous reposer au poste d'un garde forestier. Visitez ensuite les gorges à l’intérieur du parc. Les gorges sont de petites dépressions minces de masse terrestre sous lesquelles vous pouvez marcher. Certaines zones ont formé des grottes dans lesquelles vous pouvez vous promener. Cette promenade dure environ 1 heure. Terminez plus tard la visite en retournant à vélo jusqu'à la porte du parc.
Conduisez jusqu'au lac Naivasha pour un déjeuner optionnel (à vos frais) au restaurant Marina. Explorez ensuite la faune du lac Naivasha lors d'une excursion en bateau d'une heure (non incluse dans le prix). Repérez les hippopotames qui s'attardent juste à la surface de l'eau et observez quelques-uns des oiseaux diversifiés ; Les aigles pêcheurs d'Afrique, les flamants nains, la spatule africaine et le grèbe castagneux sont tous communs ici. À 16 heures, terminez la journée par un transfert aller-retour à votre hôtel à Nairobi.

It was a wonderful tour in my trip to Africa. Jimmy is an amazing guide, he talked very interestingly and in detail about every animal, about mountains, faults. We visited Hills Gate and Lake Naivasha in one day. It was my best tour in Kenya, thank you very much
The overall package was simply right . The whole tour was wonderful and interesting . The guide was extremely friendly and informative. Can highly recommend this activity to anyone!!!
From the moment Joash collected me from the hotel he was pleasant and full of local information. He arranged all the day seamlessly. It was an excellent opportunity to see the animals from the bicycle and walking. The boat ride was a highlight for me. The hippo families were amazing. I felt safe and looked after all day, which was great for a woman travelling alone. I would recommend highly

We had a great day: Our guide jimmy was very patient and is a very careful driver. We loved the bike ride among the animals, walking in the canyon. The boat ride was breathtaking with pelicans, eagles and hippo. I really enjoyed being able to discover the island of the crescent from the lake. A good day of discovery since nairobi.I recommend without hesitation!

We had a pleasure to visit Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha with Jimmy, a great guide and driver. On the way to the Hell's Gate, we had a stop at the top of the Great Rift Valley, with excellent views on this cradle of humanity. Hell's Gate National Park has fantastic landscape and served as model for some iconic scenes in Disney's Lion King. What is unique is that it is allowed to bike there! We did a memorable bike trip, stopping to watch and take photos of zebras, gazelles, giraffes, antelopes, baboons and more. There are no predators in the park, so it is safe to bike. Furthermore, we had a guided walking tour visiting an impressive gorge. After the bike trip, there was a very good lunch at a country club restaurant, followed by a boat ride on Lake Naivasha, seeing (and hearing!) hippos and pelicans and much more. This was a perfect day trip. Jimmy was an excellent guide and we recommend him enthusiastically!

Very well organized tour with the best and nicest driver Jimmy that we have ever met and who drove super careful. You drive 16 km per bike and we saw many zebras and in the distance some giraffes. The walk in the gorge is awesome and we enjoyed the boat ride where we saw hippos and many birds.

The tour was very well organized, with Jimmy as our driver for the day. He was friendly, attentive, and shared many interesting facts about the region. During the boat ride, we were fortunate to see a wide variety of wildlife in Crescent Island. The bike ride through Hell’s Gate offered a great scenery. We had to skip the ride back to the gate due to one of us feeling unwell, Jimmy was quick to respond and very accommodating throughout.
