Nairobi : Excursion d'une journée à Hell's Gate et promenade en bateau sur le lac Naivasha
Description
Ce circuit est unique car il combine des expériences aquatiques, cyclistes, pédestres et animalières en une seule journée, ce que peu de destinations au Kenya offrent. Les touristes commencent par un safari en bateau sur le lac Naivasha, qui permet d'observer de près et sans interruption les hippopotames et la faune aviaire prolifique - une expérience qui contraste fortement avec les traditionnelles promenades en voiture. La transition vers le parc national Hell’s Gate introduit alors une occasion rare de faire du vélo ou de marcher à l’intérieur d’un parc national, en se déplaçant au niveau du sol parmi les girafes, les zèbres et les antilopes en l’absence de grands prédateurs. La promenade guidée à travers les gorges de Hell’s Gate, avec ses bouches de vapeur géothermiques, ses falaises imposantes et ses formations volcaniques, ajoute une forte dimension aventure et géologique que l’on ne retrouve pas dans la plupart des circuits de safari. Des paysages pittoresques de la vallée du Rift, des activités pratiques et un déjeuner dans un hôtel au bord du lac complètent une excursion d'une journée hautement interactive et multi-sensorielle qui mélange nature, aventure et paysage plutôt que de faire du tourisme passif seul.

Itinéraire
Commencez votre journée avec un ramassage tôt le matin à votre hôtel ou à votre résidence à Nairobi et profitez d'une route panoramique le long de l'autoroute Nairobi-Nakuru à travers la vallée du Grand Rift, en vous arrêtant brièvement à un point de vue panoramique pour des photos et des rafraîchissements. À leur arrivée au lac Naivasha en milieu de matinée, les touristes embarqueront sur un bateau guidé pour un safari détendu à travers le lac d'eau douce. Pendant la croisière, vous observerez des hippopotames surgir près du bateau, observerez des aigles poissons africains descendre pour capturer des poissons, et identifierez des pélicans, des cormorans, des hérons et d'autres oiseaux aquatiques le long du rivage. Votre Guide expliquera l’écosystème du lac, les habitudes de migration des oiseaux et la relation entre la faune et les communautés environnantes. Après la promenade en bateau, vous débarquerez et profiterez du temps au bord du lac, en prenant des photos, en vous dégourdissant les jambes et en appréciant le paysage calme avant de vous rendre au Lake Naivasha Crescent Hotel, où vous pourrez vous détendre et dîner avec vue sur le lac.
Après le déjeuner, rendez-vous au parc national Hell’s Gate et recevez un bref briefing à la porte principale sur les règles, la sécurité et les activités du parc. À l'intérieur du parc, les touristes découvriront l'un des parcs les plus interactifs du Kenya en choisissant de parcourir les plaines ouvertes à vélo ou de profiter d'une promenade guidée. En vous déplaçant dans le parc, vous verrez des zèbres, des girafes, des phacochères, des gazelles et des buffles se promener librement sans prédateurs. Continuez jusqu’aux gorges de Hell’s Gate, où vous ferez une promenade guidée à travers des formations rocheuses spectaculaires, des canyons étroits, des évents de vapeur géothermique et des sources chaudes tout en découvrant l’activité volcanique et la géologie locale. Vous vous arrêterez à des sites emblématiques tels que la tour Fischer et la tour centrale pour photographier et faire de courtes promenades dans la nature. Après avoir terminé les activités, sortez du parc dans l'après-midi et commencez votre trajet de retour vers Nairobi, arrivant en début de soirée.

What was included was not clear to me from the original information. It wasn't until I had booked and paid and then met the driver that I realized how much more I needed to pay to actually see Hell's Gate Park. Be very careful!
Hello Cytnhia, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. You are absolutely right to expect full clarity before booking. In this case, the confusion around the entry fees for Hell's Gate National Park should have been communicated more explicitly from our side. While our packages typically include transport and guiding services, park entrance fees are often paid separately directly to the park or are optional depending on the listing structure—but this distinction should never be unclear at the point of booking. We take your concern seriously and are currently reviewing how this information is presented to ensure future guests have a transparent breakdown of all inclusions and exclusions before payment is made. Your experience matters, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
It was a great trip and everything worked out as planned. Isaiah and our tourguide David were really great and made the day perfect for me and my daughter.
Dear Josefine, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you and your daughter had an amazing trip and that Isaiah and David made your day perfect. We appreciate your kind words and we wish to have again soon for more of our day trips and safaris.
The place is wonderful, the attention too, however the food on this occasion was not so good... unfortunately I had no good seasoning and all the times I have been there I leave very satisfied. Please don't let it slide, it's a place I really like.
Hello dear traveler, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the setting and the service, however, we are sorry the food didn't meet expectations this time. We will address this with the team to improve the food quality. We appreciate your patronage and hope to welcome you back again soon.
I enjoyed my time. I didn’t expect to see so many animals. It was an amazing adventure and the drive was short . I didn’t feel rushed and was able to have a zebra encounter

Perfect Organisation. We started on Time in the Morning from Nairobi to Hell‘s Gate. The bike Tour was awesome - spotting lots of animals in the park. Also on the boat we were able to check on the Hippos in Lake Naivasha.
Dear Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are delighted to know that you had a wonderful time at the hell's and boat ride was awesome. We welcome you to explore different destinations in the future.
Seeing the animals while cycling through the park was just the start. It is 8 km there and back but surface good and bikes in good repair. David our bike guide was informative and considerate.
Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review, we we delighted to know that the experience was awesome and that you enjoyed riding while watching the animals in natural habitation. we welcome you again to explore a different experience in the future.
I had a last minute opening in my schedule and managed to book this trip at night for the very next morning. Erick contacted me immediately and showed up on time. The day was incredible- we stopped along the way for gorgeous views of the valley, we went to Hell's Gate where a bike guide named David took me through Hell's Gate which was awesome. We did a bike ride in, a short hike then biked back. Gorgeous views. Then on to Lake Naivasha and a boat ride to see the hippos (you CAN pay extra to walk on Crescent Island but I didnt know that- will do that next time!). Honestly everyone was great- it was a perfect day trip and I couldn't be happier with my guide Erick!!
Thank you so much IRRIN for taking the time to leave us a review, we are delighted to know that you had a memorable experience with our guide throughout the day. we welcome you to explore different experiences in the future.
It was clear that there was no cash payment on the spot. We ended up paying 150 kr. extra because we had to withdraw at a nearby ATM
Dear Traveler, thank you for taking your time and leave us this review, i wonder why you are lying because you only paid bike and bout ride which costed only $30 per person. i would like let you know that it is well detailed very well that boat ride and bikes are managed by local people and they do not accept card payment but only cash.
