Början på cykelturen på hellsporten i 2 timmar 11 am - Besök gorgarna inuti parken. Gorges är små tunna depression av landmassa där du kan gå under. Vissa områden har bildat grottor där du kan gå igenom. Det tar 1 timme.
vi kommer att stanna vid utsiktsplatsen Great Rit Valley. Ursprungligen kallad "Great Rift Valley" av den brittiske utforskaren John Walter Gregory, är Rift Valley en geografisk sträcka som sträcker sig 6000 km över Mellanöstern och Afrika från Jordanien till Moçambique. Dalen kapslar in enorma förändringar i topografisk mångfald med sina bränder och vulkaner, sjöar, gamla granitiska kullar, platta ökenlandskap och korallrev och holmar. Den häpnadsväckande utsikten, när du närmar dig från Nairobi, Kenya är helt otrolig. För att visa dig hur vidsträckt sprickan är, försvinner marken oväntat under dig och sträcker sig tusentals kilometer åt båda hållen. En utmärkt start på Kenya Rift Valley, kan det tyckas, den mest fantastiska delen av denna upplevelse är att sjunka djupare för att utforska Riftens sjösystem.

This journey at the rift valey was amazing ! Everything was taken in charge and the only thing I had to do was to enjoy ! The driver / guide, Isaac, was adorable, kind and really liable. He explained me a lot of things on Kenya history, it was really interesting and it makes the drive so nice. Arriving at Hell’s gate, I met John, my guide for bike riding into the park. I was amazed to ride aside from animals like zebra, girafes and antilopes ! And John has been so nice and also gave me a lot of information on the history of the park, the animals and also the trees ! Then, i enjoyed the boat ride on the lake Neivasha, with plenty of birds we could observed ! Thank you a lot to Isaac and John for having made this tour unforgettable ! Penelope

I had a dedicated driver for the day. The scenic drive to and from Hell’s Gate was breathtaking, made even more memorable by the stories my driver, Isaac, shared. Isaac also had recommendations along the way, and ensured I had guides on hand to accompany me by bike in Hell’s Gate and at Lake Naivasha. While at Lake Naivasha, I was able to sneak in a side excursion at Crescent Island. Just as I was thinking the day couldn’t get better, I then witnessed a baby wildebeest milking while the adults were standing guard on my walk in Crescent Island. Isaac’s goal was for me to get the most enjoyment out of the day. I would say Isaac was beyond successful, as this experience will live on in my memories for decades to come. Thank you, Isaac!

We are truly delighted to hear how memorable your experience was, and it is wonderful to know that Isaac played such a key role in making your day so special.

It sounds like your visit to Crescent Island was nothing short of magical. Witnessing a baby wildebeest nursing while the herd stood guard is a rare and beautiful moment, and we are so happy you got to experience something so unique and intimate with nature. These are exactly the kinds of moments that make safaris truly unforgettable. Isaac will be especially touched to hear your kind words. His goal is always to go above and beyond for every guest and it means a lot to know that he succeeded in creating an experience that will stay with you for decades.

This is a private trip, and I went solo. Immediately following booking, I was reached out to by Lesley, where she confirmed the details of my booking with me. In the morning of the trip, Patrick, the driver, connected with me to confirm the pickup time. We discussed potentially doing earlier, and agreed on the time. Patrick was prompt with pickup, and immediately upon instructions, I knew I was in store for a lovely day! Patrick drove us to our first location: Great Rift Valley viewpoint. During the journey, Patrick was kind and talkative. We chatted about some of the sights that we were passing, life in Kenya, how to negotiate in markets, and driving in Kenya. Patrick shared his life with me, and I mine; we truly bonded! My trip was during rainy season, so we also discussed ordering of activities to mitigate rain. I was super flexible, and appreciated the transparency in day planning. At Great Rift Valley, we stopped at a particular shop, where I was introduced to a guide who gave me context and history about the valley, Mt Longmont, Maasai people, and how Kenya gets 49% of its energy. Incredibly informative info. I had an opportunity to shop in the shop, where I negotiated and made a purchase :)). After this, we went to Hell's Gate. We met up with Reagan (the guide), who had preselected a bike that I was happy with after test riding. We drove briefly to the entrance of Hell's Gate, where we purchased tickets and waited for our bikes to be delivered. Reagan and I then spent the next few hours in Hell's Gate. Reagan was incredibly knowledgeable! He gave me so many bits of info that I didn't even think to ask about. We discussed more about Kenya's clean energy, but spent the majority of the time talking about the animals and plants we were seeing along our ride. There's a great story in the name of the park (both Hell's Gate and Elsa National Park) -- make sure to listen in on this story! The bike is 16km in total (8km there and 8km back). If you are unable to complete this, at any point you can ask to be picked up. I was able ot ride the whole ride, and really loved biking in nature. Incredibly peaceful. Reagan biked at my pace, and was more than willing to take photos and videos for me. At the halfway point, you do a walk thru of the gorge, where you see the inspo for Lion King, can experience some of the hot and blessed water seeping through the rocks, and see beautiful rock formations up close. There are some stairs on this journey + slippery rocks, so be cautious and prepared. We saw so many animals on the ride and walk. After Hell's Gate we went off to Lake Naivasha for the boat tour. I joined forces with another private group (I was completely OK with this) for the tour and lunch thereafter. The boat tour was so great!! It was fun being out on the water. Dennis was our guide here. He slowly navigated the boat throughout the water and was very considerate. He made sure we all left with photos we liked, and was also sure to get us up close to the animals. The last stop was lunch. At this point, I'd been out since 7AM, and it was now 3:30-4PM. Prepare accordingly for food that you may need during this time window (I was fine with late lunch / early dinner). Lunch was really good, though the staff definitely leaned into pole pole with food delivery speed (likely only noticed because we hadn't eaten all day haha). At this point, Patrick drove me back to my hotel safe and sound. I had been picking up Swahili throughout the day, so Patrick quizzed me and taught me a few more words and phrases as we drove back to my hotel! This was a wonderful day, and I highly highly encourage everyone to do these activities with this particular group of people. They are knowledgeable, kind, and care very deeply that you have a phenomenal experience!!!
What a truly heartwarming review to read, It means so much that your solo private trip turned into such a meaningful and memorable experience from start to finish. We are delighted that the coordination with the team felt smooth and reassuring right after booking, we always aim to make our guests feel supported from the very first moment. Patrick will be especially happy to hear your kind words. Creating genuine connections, sharing stories and adapting the day around weather and your preferences is exactly the experience we hope every traveler enjoys. It is wonderful that the stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint was both informative and fun. At Hell's Gate National Park, Reagan will be thrilled to know how much you appreciated his knowledge and pace during the 16km ride. Biking through the park, walking the gorge, and spotting wildlife up close truly makes it one of Kenya’s most unique adventures. We are also glad you enjoyed the peaceful boat ride on Lake Naivasha with Dennis, getting close to the wildlife while feeling safe and well taken care of makes all the difference. Thank you for highlighting the small details, from flexibility in planning to Swahili lessons on the drive back. Your encouragement and thoughtful feedback mean the world to our entire team. We would absolutely love to welcome you back to Kenya for another unforgettable adventure. Karibu tena! Regards, Lesley
We (a couple) had a great time on our bike ride in Hell’s Gate National Park. Our travel agent (Kentau Safaris) had booked a guided tour with the Hell’s Gate Community Tour Guides. The tour consisted of about 8.5 km ride from the Elsa Gate to the Ol Njorowa Gorge, 2-3 km walking up and down the gorge, and a bike ride back to the Elsa Gate. The landscapes on the way and inside the gorge were spectacular and we got very close to the wild animals. Seeing the animals from a bicycle is, somehow, more intimate that seeing them from a safari vehicle. Our guide, Robert (+254 725894994; rthuo541@gmail.com) was great! He is very knowledgable about the animals and the area; a very good communicator and with a good sense of humour. He had answers to all our questions and also told us many things without us asking (some of our guides in Kenya do not necessarily volunteer much information). He was also very relaxed and allowed us to choose the pace, which was very relaxed as there was so much in the environment to take in. The bikes we got were a little run down. We tried out a few before picking the ones we ended up using. As it turned out, we were unnecessarily worried about this as the pace on this ride is very slow, as we had our eyes on the landscape and the animals. The ride is also fairly flat. In the end the old bikes we used were just perfect for the job. We rode on the main road through the HGNP but there was very little traffic. We strongly recommend this ride and our guide to anyone that can ride a bike for a couple of hours. You do not need to be in perfect physical shape to enjoy this ride.
Thank you for sharing such a fantastic account of your cycling adventure in Hell’s Gate National Park. We are thrilled to hear that your experience was both memorable and unique, and that exploring the park by bike gave you that special, up close connection with nature and wildlife. Exploring the park by bicycle truly offers a unique and intimate way to experience the wildlife and dramatic landscapes, and we are so glad you enjoyed the ride from Elsa Gate to Ol Njorowa Gorge. The gorge is indeed spectacular, and combining cycling with a guided walk makes the adventure even more special. We are especially pleased to hear your kind words about Robert. He will be thrilled to know that his knowledge, communication skills, sense of humor, and relaxed guiding style made such a positive impact on your experience. We strongly believe that great guides make all the difference, and it is wonderful to know he kept the tour engaging and informative throughout. Thank you for your honest feedback regarding the bikes. We appreciate your understanding and are glad to hear they ultimately served their purpose well, especially given the relaxed pace and relatively flat terrain. It means a lot that you would strongly recommend the ride and the guide to others. We truly hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future Regards, Lesley

I joined a one-day tour to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate. My driver guide was Jimmy who worked responsibly and professionally throughout the day. He patiently answered all my questions about everything here and I was really happy that a local shares so much about how life here is. That is really rewarding - as someone from far away, I want to visit the spots, but other than that knowing people and their cultures makes the experience more eye-opening and worthwhile. Jimmy is truly friendly and accommodating. Would definitely him as a guide. The guide at Hell’s Gate Victor and John during the boat ride were nice too.
Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are delighted to hear that your one-day tour to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate was not only enjoyable but also meaningful. Jimmy will be thrilled to know that his professionalism, patience, and openness made such a positive impact on your visit.

We’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for more adventures in Kenya! Warm regards, Clara
Made an online inquiry and received detailed information and confirmations via email and What’s App. Jimmy was an excellent driver. He communicated well and arrived on time for pickup. Once at Hell’s Gate, he helped select a bicycle for cycling and paired me with a knowledgeable guide to tour Hell’s Gate. Jimmy was there waiting when I returned from the Hell’s Gate tour; no need to call or message to find. Then, went to lunch and the boat ride at Lake Naivasha. Jimmy checked throughout the day to make sure that I was having a good time and if anything was needed.
Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! We are thrilled to hear that everything from your initial inquiry to the completion of your trip went smoothly.
