Hells Gate National Park Safari – Bike, Hike & Explore Kenya’s Wild Side

Hells Gate National Park in Kenya is one of the most unique safari destinations in Africa, known for its dramatic cliffs, geothermal springs, and thrilling cycling safaris. Just a short drive from Nairobi, Hells Gate is perfect for a day trip filled with wildlife, canyon hikes, and breathtaking views—without the crowds of larger parks.

Discover the wild beauty of Hells Gate National Park, a rare gem among Kenya safari destinations. Unlike traditional game drives, Hells Gate offers walking and cycling safaris where you can explore deep gorges, geothermal vents, and stunning rock formations up close. Spot zebras, buffaloes, and gazelles against a backdrop that inspired scenes in The Lion King.

Located near Lake Naivasha, Hells Gate is ideal for a day trip from Nairobi. Enjoy activities like rock climbing, hiking the Fischer’s Tower, and exploring the Hell’s Gate Gorge. The park’s open landscape makes it family-friendly and accessible for all adventure levels.

Planning a longer safari? Combine your Hells Gate safari with a visit to Lake Naivasha or a multi-day tour through the Great Rift Valley and Masai Mara National Reserve.

We recommend the Olkaria Geothermal Spa, Africa’s first geothermal-powered spa—perfect for a relaxing soak after your adventure. Learn more from the Kenya Wildlife Service.
