Overview

This 2-day adventure is the perfect getaway for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and photography enthusiasts. It combines an exhilarating cycling experience through Hell’s Gate National Park, a scenic boat ride on Lake Naivasha, and an up-close walking safari on Crescent Island, offering an exciting blend of physical activity, breathtaking landscapes, and serene wildlife encounters.

The journey begins with a thrilling bike ride through the rugged terrain of Hell’s Gate National Park, one of Kenya’s most unique national parks. Unlike most parks, Hell’s Gate allows visitors to explore its dramatic cliffs, deep gorges, and wide-open plains on foot or by bicycle, creating an immersive experience where you can get closer to nature. Along the way, expect to spot a variety of wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, buffalos, and warthogs, all roaming freely against the stunning backdrop of towering rock formations. A guided hike into Hell’s Gate Gorge will lead you to spectacular geological features such as Fischer’s Tower, the Devil’s Kitchen, and natural hot springs.

After an adventurous day in Hell’s Gate, the trip continues with a relaxing stay near Lake Naivasha, one of Kenya’s most beautiful freshwater lakes. The evening allows for unwinding by the lakeshore, where you can take a quiet nature walk and witness a mesmerizing sunset while spotting hippos and a variety of birds, including fish eagles and kingfishers.

The second day begins with an exciting boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where you’ll glide across the calm waters while enjoying picturesque views of the surrounding landscapes. This boat safari offers a chance to observe hippos up close and marvel at the sight of fish eagles swooping down to catch their prey. From the lake, the journey continues to Crescent Island, a hidden gem and a sanctuary for herbivorous wildlife. Unlike traditional safaris, Crescent Island offers a guided walking safari, allowing you to walk alongside zebras, giraffes, impalas, and other animals in their natural habitat—an experience that brings you even closer to the wonders of the wild.
