About this tour

1 Day Hell's Gate National Park Day Trip

Hell’s Gate is one of the few Kenyan parks you can explore on foot or by bicycle. On the 1 Day Hell’s Gate National Park trip you cycle past zebra, giraffe, buffalo and eland, surrounded by red cliffs and volcanic towers.

A guided walk takes you down into the narrow gorge, past hot springs and carved rock passages, and you can finish with a soak at the nearby Olkaria Geothermal Spa. Park fees, transfers, drinking water and a professional guide are included. See more day trips.

Day by day

Detailed itinerary

Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel early and drives out along the Rift Valley escarpment, stopping at the viewpoint over the valley, and continues to the Hell’s Gate gate near Naivasha to register.

Cycle or drive the main track between the red cliffs, past Fischer’s Tower and Central Tower, the volcanic plugs that give the park its skyline. Zebra, giraffe, buffalo, eland, Thomson’s gazelle, baboon and warthog are all commonly seen at close range, and the cliffs hold breeding Verreaux’s eagles and other raptors. Bicycles can be hired at the gate.

A guided walk descends into Hell’s Gate Gorge, following narrow rock passages past hot springs between steep walls, with the option of continuing to the Devil’s Bedroom. You can add a swim at the Olkaria Geothermal Spa afterwards, a large open-air pool warmed by underground steam, before the drive back to Nairobi in the evening.
