Kenya: Nairobi Hell's Gate Bike Ride and Lake Naivasha Boat Ride with Transfer

  • Kenya
  • • Adventure Activities
  • • Duration 13 hour

Description

Experience two of the Rift Valley's most distinctive outdoor attractions in one private day excursion from Nairobi: a bike ride through Hell's Gate National Park followed by a boat ride on Lake Naivasha.

Begin with an early private SUV transfer from Nairobi toward Hell's Gate National Park. After entering through the cycling area around Elsa Gate, collect the bicycles and begin the guided ride through the park's open landscape.

Hell's Gate is known for its dramatic volcanic cliffs, Fischer's Tower, Central Tower, geothermal features, gorges and wildlife including zebra, giraffe, buffalo, warthog and antelope. Visitors can cycle on designated park roads and trails, making the park particularly suited to an active safari-style experience.

After the cycling session, continue toward Lake Naivasha for a private boat excursion. The boat ride provides opportunities to observe hippos, waterbirds, fish eagles and the lake's surrounding Rift Valley scenery.

The experience combines active cycling with a relaxed lake cruise before the private SUV returns guests to their selected Nairobi pickup/drop-off point.

Meeting instruction:

Guests should report 30 minutes before the scheduled activity at the designated meeting point.
