Hell's Gate National Park
Red cliffs, geothermal steam and one of the only parks where you can cycle and walk among wildlife.
Hell's Gate sits beside Lake Naivasha, about 90 km from Nairobi. Its cliffs, the volcanic plug of Fischer's Tower and the Ol Njorowa Gorge make it unlike any other Kenyan park, and there are no big predators to stop you exploring by bike or on foot with a guide.
