    Very nice experience with mountains and lake
    Sergei_K, Apr 2024
    Nice day trip, where you can visit mountains and lake in one day, highly recommended. Big thanks to Frank and Joash! Few tips: It is a bit messy with Park entrance fee payment (not only there but in most tourists destinations, museums e.g), as now the only way to pay is by eCitizen account according to government’s decision. So check this in advance with guide. And definitely keep the required amount in cash (Park entry 28$, boat ride 25$) Bike ride through the park (18km total) could be not easy . Take some water/snacks. And it’s better to have long sleeves together with sun cream.
    Highly recommended

    An African national park that inspired Disney’s Lion King, this trip is well worth the money. It is run by Maasai people so all your spendings inside the park go straight to the community. There are armed rangers on patrol and your own expedition guide makes sure everyone is safe. If you find the return hike or bike ride is too exhausting, summon a support vehicle (for a small fee).

    Great tour and guides! Truly recommend to everyone! So happy that we picked this one. Our best activity is Kenya so far.
    Great tour to see the landscapes!

    Calvin and Frederick were excellent!! They made our day fantastic! The bike ride and hike were great to see the scenery. Wear hiking/good walking shoes. Our tour was just myself and my husband so it was great to have flexibility. This is not the tour operator’s fault, but something to be aware of- payment for entry into the park is via eCitizen (same site used for Evisa)- it was a little glitchy so we ended up having to input our credit card info into a park employees phone. If you have seen hippos elsewhere, I would probably skip the optional boat ride. Overall a great tour that I would recommend!
    I love cycling in beautiful landscapes!

    We had a an elderly, german Guide for our tour and really had a fun time! He didn’t speak fluent german completely, but tried his best to make the whole tour in german (as we also speak English pretty well, we just spoke a mix of both languages). The cycling and national park were beautiful. The Lake may a bit overpriced, but you can see Hippos and an Eagle catching fish. I can recommend it!
    Great adventure and unique experience

    Would highly recommend this tour for people looking for a unique experience with biking and hikes amidst wildlife in a beautiful park. It's no wonder Hell's Gate inspired parts of the Lion King and was the site of films like Tomb Raider, because it's a gorgeous place and biking there was amazing. Lots of good wildlife and scenic views. The gorges were closed when we went, but I appreciated that safety comes first (rainy season means the gorges can flood) and the guide instead led us on a hike along the gorge so we got to see it anyway but in a safe manner. We heard a bit about local culture and practices out in the bush while on the hike. This is a slightly more physical tour than a typical safari, but the average person would can do it and have an amazing trip. The dirt roads a pretty level and any uphill parts weren't hard or common. The guides assess your fitness and the weather too and always give people the option to ride the car back if needed. My friend wasn't feeing well that morning and our driver Calvin drove into the park with her so she didn't miss out. For the bikes, you get a choice of different bike sizes. I even saw smaller bikes for kids. Make sure to check your brakes and the bike gears before. Great boat ride at the lake. We saw hippos, pelicans and eagles. We saw an eagle pluck a fish out of the lake and some animals on Crescent Island. Bring a camera with zoom for hippos because you can't get too close to the territorial animals. Our driver Calvin and park guide Gaddafi were great, sharing facts about the area, animals and bit of history along the way. Calvin was very knowledgeable about the Naivasha area too. He also accommodated our requests. Ask for Calvin when you book. He'll take care of you and your group.
    Must do trip!! Unique experience
    Hannah_M, Nov 2023
    Hell’s gate and lake Naivasha is a must!!!!! This is by far one of the most unique experience I have had while traveling period. The opportunity to bike alongside a wide variety of animals was incredible!! Even without any animal sightings the landscape and natural scenario through the park was beyond words. Calvin was a fabulous guide and the cycling guide was also wonderful! I felt wel assisted picking out my bicycle and sage throughout the tour on bike. The additional cost for the boat ride, gorge walk, and lunch is definitely with it!! We actually saw giraffes on the boat as well as hippos popping up their faces within feet to say hello! This is must do day trip in Nairobi.
    Interessanter Ausflug mit out of Africa Feeling
    Rainer_B, Dec 2023
    Die Landschaft im ostafrikanischen Graben mit seinem vulkanischen Ursprung, aber auch der Tier- und Pflanzenwelt ist sehenswert. Für die Fahrräder auf steinigem Weg ist gewisse Fitness, v.a. bei warmem Wetter, notwendig. Der Führer war freundlich, erklärte gerne. Dar Narisha See ist mit seinen Baumstümpfen den Flusspferden,Kormorane, und am Rande einiger Giraffen, sogar ein Fischadler ebenfalls sehenswert. Die Fahrt auf der einzigen West-Ost-Route mit zahlreichen Trucks ist fast ein Abenteuer für sich. Man weiss nämlich nicht ab die teils recht enge zweispurige Gebirgsstrasse vielleicht über Stunden komplett blckiert ist. Bei uns ging es gut. Der Fahrer Calvin war exzellent und umsichtig und jeder Situation gewachsen.
