“The day began with a drive from Nairobi to Hell's Gate that took about two hours. We stopped off for a morning coffee at an unassuming petrol station and I had one of the best coffees ever!

“This trip was an unparalleled way to get close to nature. All the animals look a whole lot larger when you’re not in a safari truck!

“I had a GREAT day exploring Hells Gate National Park on bike and Lake Naivasha on boat thanks to my great driver, Bernard! On the way from Nairobi we stopped at Rift Valley for some beautiful views and shopping and learning a bit about the area. Upon arriving at the park, the bikes seemed a bit beat up at first glance, but the functionality was perfect with the gears and it was an awesome bike tour. I would say the bike tour is some times easy and some times moderate. Definitely wear sunscreen!!! We saw so many animals - impalas, gazelles, pumba/warthogs, zebras, giraffe, Cape buffalo, and wildebeest. The scenery…”

“This is one of my WOW activities in Kenya. Biking at the National Park is highly recommended from beginner to advanced. You get to enjoy the view along the way and get a closer look of the resident animals. The rock climbing is also a “give it a go” experience and walking through the geothermal gorge was just wonderful. Driver Suffik is chill and just amazing the whole trip!”

“Pensez à ememer de quoi grignoter/ manger. La journée aurait été parfaite si on avait emmené des sandwichs. Nous avons commencé par le tour du lac en bateaux, top, puis la balade à vélo, c’est sympa mais l'attaquer à 11h du matin pour la finir à 15h30, tout ca pratiquement à jeun, c'est compliqué. Personnellement j'ai du abandonné, je n'avais plus de forces pour faire le retour (8km allée + balade à pied + 8km retour, et j'avais mon fils en siège bébé avec moi sur le vélo). Notre guide pour le vélo était, par contre, vraiment super.”
