Cycling Through Hell's Gate National Park

Hell's Gate is unusual among Kenya's national parks: visitors can cycle through much of it while zebra, giraffe, and gazelle graze across the valley. The scale of the cliffs makes even an easy ride feel cinematic.

Plan for the conditions

Set out early, inspect your bicycle before entering, and carry more water than you think you will need. The return journey includes exposed sections and can feel demanding in the midday heat.

Combine it with Naivasha

A boat trip on Lake Naivasha complements the ride with close views of water birds and hippos. Use experienced guides and follow all safety instructions near wildlife.
