Excursion d'une journée au parc national Hell's Gate et promenade en bateau facultative sur le lac Naivasha.





Description
Source d'inspiration pour les animateurs du Roi Lion de Disney, le parc national Hell's Gate couvre environ 26 miles carrés (68,25 kilomètres carrés). Nommé d'après une lacune dans les falaises teintées de rouge sculptées par les eaux vives d'un lac préhistorique, c'est le seul parc d'Afrique de l'Est dans lequel vous pouvez sortir de votre véhicule de safari et faire de la randonnée librement. Faire du vélo dans le parc tout en observant la faune dans son habitat naturel et se promener le long de la gorge est quelque chose que vous ne pouvez pas manquer à Hell's Gate. Conduire un bateau sur le lac Naivasha vous permet non seulement de vous détendre des brises du lac, mais aussi de voir des milliers d'hippopotames et d'espèces d'oiseaux.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Notre guide/chauffeur accrédité viendra vous chercher à 7h du matin à votre hôtel. Il vous guidera à travers un bref exposé sur le voyage. Commencez le voyage à travers les hautes terres de kikuyu. Après une heure de route, vous atteignez le point de vue où vous vous arrêterez pendant 30 minutes pour admirer la grande vallée du Rift tout en prenant des photos. Vous aurez également une bonne vue sur le mont Longonot, une montagne volcanique avec un cratère au sommet. Commencez à descendre la vallée du Rift pendant 1 heure en direction du lac Naivasha où se trouve le parc national de Hell's Gate. L'activité agricole pratiquée ici est la culture de fleurs roses et vous verrez de nombreuses serres. À ce stade, vous aurez atteint l'entrée de la porte de l'enfer. Préparez votre vélo et commencez à faire du vélo dans le parc. Vous verrez des girafes, des zèbres, des antilopes et des gazelles broutant des deux côtés de la route en descendant vers la région des gorges.
Le lac Naivasha est un lac d'eau douce au Kenya, à l'extérieur de la ville de Naivasha dans le comté de Nakuru, qui se trouve au nord-ouest de Nairobi. Il fait partie de la vallée du Grand Rift. Ici, vous monterez en bateau à moteur sur le lac Naivasha tout en voyant des hippopotames et différentes espèces d'oiseaux, y compris l'aigle pêcheur.

Our driver and guide, Meshack, was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He was reliable, friendly and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to see everything. The guide at Hells Gate NP was great too. Saw plenty of hippos in Lake Naivasha too. We would recommend this operator to anyone.
I had an amazing experience during my trip to Naivasha! All of the tour guides were amazing and made my experience so fun! Also, Calvin, the driver, was a really nice and friendly person to have as my driver!
DearEdo. Thank you for taking your time to write such a wonderful and fantastic review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your tour to Hell’s Gate National Park with our driver Calvin. It was pleasure hosting you and we still welcome you for more other tours in future.
We had a great day out with Dismus and Frunk to Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate National Park. Our guides were very knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We felt like travelling with friends on a day trip and not taking part in a paid activity. This tour was private, so no big groups or anything like that. The guys were on time and made our journey enjoyable. It took about 3 hours to get to the lake. We had a short break mid-way at the Rift Valley viewpoint. Unfortunately, it was misty, but we managed to see the valley. Toilet, coffee, and gift shops were available there. After that, we continued our trip to the lake. We started there as the weather was closing in, and the guys said the lake tends to get heavy rains, so better to go there early. We had a great time at the lake. The weather was perfect, mostly sunny and very warm. We were handed over to the boat team. Our guide knew everything, all birds, all animals. We learned a lot. managed to see plenty of hippos, pelicans, waterbucks, and all sorts of birds. The lake itself is beautiful. I saw some pics before we went, but it was better than expected. After the lake, we went to get some bikes, which were transferred to the park entrance for us. We bought the tickets at the gate (I would recommend buying them a day before online and saving some time that way). The park is great, full of animals, and we got to cycle amongst them. I believe this is the only safari park where one can ride a bike. We went to see the gorge where, surprisingly, some hot springs were visible. Again, we learned a lot about the animals living there. Cycling back is a bit harder as it's mostly going up, so if one is not used to that in the heat, then better to opt for an electric bike. It's also possible to go by car, but what is the fun in that :) We really enjoyed the trip, which was great thanks to our guides. I wish we had more time to spend there with them. This trip is highly recommended!

This was an amazing experience!! Meshack was our driver and one of our guides. We were promptly picked up at our hotel as planned. Everything was well coordinated. The bicycle ride at Hell’s Gate was spectacular!! I hadn’t ridden a bike, in over 20 years, but picked it right back up. Francis ,was our bike guide, and he was fantastic. He was patient with us, as we needed to stop for brief breaks. There was a hike down into a gorge that was unexpected, but we did it!! If you have any stability issues, you’ll want to pass on that, or ask if you can take the stairs. (Stairs were used on the way back up). The boat ride was great and we got to see hippos! Excellent guide for that experience as well. We would highly recommend this tour. It was an amazing day that pushed us physically, but zero regrets, and we do it many times over!! They do offer e-bike options, so you can make it less challenging. Wear long sleeves, pants, hat, and sunscreen. Be sure to put sunscreen on the top of your hands too! They are exposed on the bike handles. Hiking type/waterproof shoes are definitely recommended.

Frank and Dismus were very friendly, patient and accommodating. They made the experience 10x better. I would definitely book with this company. Also affordable rates too. Lastly the bike tour was adventurous while the boat ride was scenic. And Frank came off as knowledgeable.
Dear Matt. Thank you for your fantastic review. We are happy that you loved your tour with guides Frank and Dismus. Thank you for choosing us guide you on this tour, we don't take it for granted. Its our goal to make customer enjoy and be satisfied. Most welcome.
This was overall a great experience. Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate are both well worth visiting. Combining both in a single day trip from Nairobi is a little rushed, but the tour allocates time as well as possible. We were able to see lots of animals and some beautiful landscapes. Our driver/guide Meshack was very communicative, drove safely, provided interesting information, and was overall very friendly. The restaurant for lunch was very nice with a large menu of delicious food and reasonable prices.
