Nairobi day trip to Hell’s Gate and Lake Naivasha: bike safari, gorge hike, optional hippo boat ride, with hotel pickup for $110.

“On my first trip to Kenya I also wanted to see what the country was like outside of Nairobi. I debated between this trip to Hells Gate and a short safari in the Nairobi National Park. I couldn’t be more pleased with my choice. The trip was wonderful! Between the bike ride through Hells Gate Park and the hike through the Gorge, every view was amazing. So many animals to see - some very close. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha to see the hippos was likewise a great experience. So many thanks to my wonderful guide Joash - he really helped to make it a wonderful trip. One last…”

2.Day Trip: Hell’s Gate Bike Ride & Lake Naivasha Boat Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 251 reviews · 9 - 10 hours · from $34Best value

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 192 reviews · from $125

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.”
