Top Central Kenya How to Get Around

Embark on this memorable day trip to Hell’s Gate with an optional boat ride on Lake Naivasha. Experience the beauty of Hell’s Gate National Park as you walk or bike alongside zebras, giraffes, and antelopes in their natural habitat. Explore dramatic gorges, bubbling geothermal springs, and towering cliffs, then unwind with an optional boat ride on Lake Naivasha to spot hippos and waterbucks up close. It’s the perfect escape for anyone with limited time in Nairobi.

Most Kenya safaris happen through a car window. This one doesn't get near one. Hell's Gate on a bike, a volcanic gorge on foot, a rock pillar to climb and then horses at the base of a dormant volcano - it's a full day of moving through the landscape rather than watching it go by. The horseback safari is the part of this trip that people talk about afterwards. The horses know the terrain and the wildlife knows the horses, which is why you end up closer to a grazing zebra than most people get on an entire safari holiday. The Rift Valley opens up around you, Longonot's rim sits above and the plains stretch out as far as you can see. Stay the night at Fisherman's Camp and the pace shifts completely. Hippos come out of the lake after dark and graze on the lawn a few meters from your tent. The campfire goes until late. It's only 90 minutes from Nairobi but it feels about as far from the city as you can get.

Explore the magnificent Nairobi National park famous for being the only national Park that is closest to a capital city, here you will experience the first taste of Kenya’s wildlife and scenic splendor that consists of forests, savannah grasslands, cliffs and wetlands. The half day game drive brings you closer to the big game that includes Lions, Rhinos, Giraffes, Zebras, Buffalo and a variety of grazing herbivores. Enjoy an ally of birdlife and create photographs that feature a beautiful background of city buildings. A tour with a tapestry of contrasts, a harmonious blend of urban sophistication and untamed beauty.
