Bike Hell's Gate Gorge and boat Lake Naivasha on a 9 to 10 hour Nairobi day trip, with hippos, birds, and geothermal walks.

“Patrick picked us up right on time at 5 a.m. for our tour. We were a small group and took a personal car. He got us out of Nairobi before the traffic started. He was an excellent driver and guide with such a great personality. Just be aware all you are paying for here is the transportation. Everything else is extra, park fees, boat ride, lunch, etc. (Still cheaper than other options but didn't feel less) Hells gate park is amazing and we had an amazing guide there. Thank you!”

Private Hell's Gate bike and gorge hike from Nairobi, plus Maasai community and Lake Naivasha lunch with optional hippo boat ride.

“For the Buffalo Circuit, the bikes were perilous to ride, and you should insist on a helmet. Additionally, if you decide to lunch, you should be prepared to pay for the driver’s lunch, which is expected in addition to the driver’s tip. The takeaway? Make sure you understand the details before deciding on this.”
