Worth the visit and items you should know before you go.
Worthwhile trip with great views and sightings BUT DO KNOW that the trip from Nairobi is through massive construction of expanding the highway (even with early start it takes 2 hours). We were picked up at the hotel by Wilson on time for a private tour. We took the highway direct to Hell's Gate bypassing the escarpment we had visited on a earlier trip. It was a long drive made longer by construction (account for this in factoring when to leave from Nairobi for the next 2 years). Car was comfortable even though one seat belt did not work properly.
Hells Gate is an interesting location. It is within the floor of the Great Rift Valley, Hell’s Gate has very interesting geographical features such towering cliffs of red and white, obsidian lying on the ground, gorges, geothermal features, and a large valley to create a varied landscape. Quite the scene and it had very visitors when we went.
We biked through the valley and you must know the following: sandy and rocky soil requires effort and concentration, constant car passing at speeds create massive clouds of dust, and you have to bring your own water. Go to facilities before embarking on ride. Take your time to check the bike and have it fitted properly for your size. Have a gaiter or mask for the dust!!! I suggest that KWS ban cars from 0700 to noon and only allow bikes and pedestrians. You will see wildlife aplenty: Baboons, Zebras, Giraffe, Eland, Hyrax, Gazelles, etc... and several species of birds.
Lake Naivasha was a wonderful story. We loved it! It is full of birds and that was one of my primary interests. We did a private tour and our guide was excellent. We saw wildlife on the banks and had a few sightings of listed vulnerable bird species. The boat ride is a must if you must go that for to visit Hell's Gate.
The ride back took us 3.2 hours due to construction and accidents. Our driver was very good, cautious, and patient. Well done.
I recommend it but be patient with the drive.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed, practical, and insightful review! We are delighted to hear that you had a worthwhile journey, loved the incredible birdlife at Lake Naivasha, and enjoyed exploring the unique landscapes of Hell’s Gate.
Navigating heavy road construction and unpredictable traffic requires immense patience and skill, so we are immensely proud of Wilson for driving cautiously, prioritizing your safety, and making sure you felt comfortable despite the long drive. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the faulty seat belt you encountered—vehicle safety is our top priority, and our operations team has already flagged this car for an immediate fix.
Your detailed breakdown of the transit times along the Nairobi highway expansion, as well as your practical advice for future Hell's Gate bikers (checking bike fittings, carrying water, and wearing dust masks), is incredibly helpful for fellow travelers. We also really appreciate your thoughtful suggestion regarding car-free biking hours in the park—it’s an excellent idea for improving the visitor experience.
We will be so proud to pass your kind words along to Wilson, and we thank you again for choosing Perfect Safari. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Kenya!
Warmest regards,
The Perfect Safari Team

Hells Gate National Park cycling safari
I had an amazing experience visiting Hell's Gate National Park, thanks to my guide, Leki. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history and significance of the park.
Leki guided me through the gorge and took the time to explain the fascinating stories behind the different sites, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. He also went above and beyond by helping me take some fantastic photos that perfectly captured my visit.
His friendly personality, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made the tour truly memorable. I highly recommend Leki to anyone visiting Hell's Gate National Park. If you're looking for a guide who is professional, engaging, and dedicated to ensuring you have a great experience, Leki is the perfect choice.

Great trip with Steven and Gomez
We had such a great time doing the bike tour and hike at Hells Gate. Our driver Steven was so friendly and telling us lots of information about the areas we were in and our tour guide at Hells Gate, Gomez, was excellent! Gomez took us on an extra bit of the gorge walk which included bare foot walking through the water at times and then a little bit of rock climbing. When I was struggling cycling back in the heat, Gomez pushed me through the hard bits - literally - I didn't have to pedal! Steven then got us safely to the airport. The whole day was great, such a beautiful location and we loved having a more active day - it definitely tired us out ahead of our flight!

Nuru is the best guide!
Nuru is the best guide! We loved his enthusiasm from the very first moment. He told us so much about Kenya and its history. We could literally ask him ALL the questions in the world, and he answered everything with so much knowledge, patience and humor. It was such a pleasure to spend time with him; he made the whole experience not only informative but also incredibly gezellig and relaxed.
He is starting his own company soon, and we can truly recommend everyone to book their tours with him. You won’t regret it!
The bike ride was also super fun. Calm, beautiful and such a special way to see the animals up close. The boat trip was very relaxing and a perfect way to end the day.
事業者からの返答
That sounds like such a wonderful experience! 🌍✨
Nuru truly sounds like an exceptional guide — knowledgeable, patient, and full of enthusiasm. It’s always special when someone not only shares facts about a country like Kenya, but also brings its history and culture to life with humor and warmth. Being able to ask “all the questions in the world” and feel genuinely heard makes a huge difference.
The combination of the calm bike ride, seeing animals up close in such a beautiful setting, and then ending the day with a relaxing boat trip sounds perfectly balanced — active, immersive, and peaceful all at once. 🚴♂️🛶
It’s also exciting that he’s starting his own company soon — with that level of passion and care, it sounds like he’s going to do incredibly well. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt recommendation!
Warm regards,

Perfect day trip
I took this tour with Nuru last weekend and it was absolutely wonderful. He was a great guide and very accommodating to the fact that I had very little rest due to a long travel day before. It was a perfect itinerary with beautiful nature and the opportunity to see many animals, and I really appreciated the kindness and flexility. The perfect weekend trip from Nairobi! Would really recommend.
