Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Hell's Gate National Park, Lake Road South South of Lake Naivasha, Naivasha 20117 Kenya
Begin with 6.30am pickup in Nairobi, then travel to Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate National Park, with a break to get views of the Great Rift Valley from a scenic overlook along the way. Upon arriving in the park at roughly 9am, begin a 2-hour, guided bike tour: watch for herds of Thompson’s gazelle, eland, zebra, and hartebeest as you ride. Keep an eye on the sky throughout the tour, as Hell’s Gate National Park is home to more than 100 species of birds, including Verreaux’s eagles, augur buzzards, vulture, and swifts. Continue on foot into the park’s distinctive gorges, where narrow passageways and caves are sunk into sedimentary rock
. After a 1-hour walk, stop by a local Maasai community to learn about traditional life and customs in the Great Rift Valley, then head to Naivasha Fisherman’s camp for lunch (own expense). For an additional fee of $20 per person, you can explore Lake Naivasha wildlife on a 1-hour boat tour. Spot the hippos that linger just at the surface of the water, and see some of the diverse birdlife; African fish eagles, lesser flamingos, African spoonbill, and little grebe are all common here. At 4pm, begin the return trip to Nairobi, and finish the day with drop-off in Nairobi at roughly 6pm

Ok, so Onesmus is the perfect tour guide. He comes with a boatload of laughs and good times. He makes you feel at home when you are far, far from home. The tour itself was amazing for a day trip as well. Hells Gate was low-key on our visit due to the holiday. Our driver and tour guide assistant...
Ok, so Onesmus is the perfect tour guide. He comes with a boatload of laughs and good times. He makes you feel at home when you are far, far from home. The tour itself was amazing for a day trip as well. Hells Gate was low-key on our visit due to the holiday. Our driver and tour guide assistant were also great. They were a great team! Always made sure we had what we need and went out of their way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Could not have asked for a better tour on short notice!
