Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or residence, followed by a scenic drive down the Great Rift Valley escarpment with stops at viewpoints to admire sweeping landscapes.
On arrival at Hell’s Gate National Park, you’ll be fitted with a mountain bike and start cycling through the park’s dramatic terrain. Pedal along winding roads flanked by towering cliffs, past geothermal vents and striking rock formations like Fischer’s Tower. This is one of the only national parks in Kenya where biking or walking among wildlife is allowed, making it an unforgettable experience.
As you ride, keep your eyes open for zebras, giraffes, gazelles, and warthogs grazing calmly nearby. For those who prefer not to cycle, a guided walk through the park offers equally rewarding encounters. Adventurers can also take a short hike into the gorges (when accessible), where narrow paths and unique rock formations tell stories of ancient volcanic activity.
Overview:
Afterwards, you’ll unwind on a peaceful boat ride across the freshwater Lake Naivasha, gliding past pods of hippos and flocks of vibrant birdlife such as fish eagles and kingfishers. The day concludes with a guided walking safari on Crescent Island, where you’ll step into nature’s theatre and walk among giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and gazelles without the barrier of a vehicle. This day trip is a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and unique wildlife encounters.
