Located just a short drive from Nairobi and close to Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate National Park is one of Kenya’s most adventurous and accessible parks. Unlike most safari destinations, Hell’s Gate allows visitors to explore on foot or by bicycle, offering a thrilling, up-close experience of nature.
The park is named after its dramatic cliffs, gorges, and geothermal activity, making it a striking part of the Great Rift Valley. Visitors can enjoy cycling safaris past zebras, giraffes, and gazelles, hike through the scenic gorges, and test their skills with rock climbing on Fischer’s Tower. The park is also famous for its hot springs and volcanic landscapes, which have inspired settings in films like The Lion King.
Hell’s Gate is ideal for day trips and weekend getaways, often combined with nearby attractions such as Lake Naivasha boat rides or a visit to the Olkaria Geothermal Spa, where you can soak in naturally heated pools after a day of adventure.
Our Hell’s Gate packages include transport from Nairobi, park entry fees, guided cycling or hiking tours, and optional add-ons such as lunch or spa visits. Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or as a group, the park offers something for everyone – from adrenaline-filled activities to relaxed nature walks.
The best time to visit Hell’s Gate is during the dry seasons (January–March and July–October) when the trails are safe and the scenery at its best.
