Hell's Gate National Park, Naivasha

Hell’s Gate National Park is one of Kenya’s most unique and thrilling wildlife destinations — the only park in the country where you can cycle, hike and walk freely among wildlife without a guide. Located in Naivasha, in Kenya’s stunning Great Rift Valley, Hell’s Gate is a dramatic landscape of towering volcanic gorges, soaring cliffs, geothermal steam vents and open savannah that inspired the breathtaking scenery in Disney’s The Lion King.
Cycle through open plains alongside zebras, giraffes, buffaloes and gazelles, then descend into the spectacular Fischer’s Tower and Central Tower rock formations before hiking through the legendary Hell’s Gate Gorge — a narrow canyon carved by ancient rivers, with walls rising dramatically on either side, hidden waterfalls, natural hot springs and rock pools waiting to be discovered deep within. It is an adventure unlike anything else in East Africa.
Hell’s Gate is also home to Ol Karia Geothermal Spa, where natural hot spring waters offer a deeply relaxing experience after a day of cycling and gorge hiking. The nearby Lake Naivasha adds hippos, fish eagles and boat rides to a perfect Naivasha day package. Savanna Sojourns Safaris combines Hell’s Gate with Lake Naivasha for the ultimate Rift Valley adventure.
