Lake Naivasha

Hell's Gate National Park

Cycle past buffalo and climb volcanic gorges — Kenya's only national park built for adventure on foot.

Hell's Gate National Park covers 68 square kilometres of dramatic Rift Valley geology: towering cliffs of red and grey volcanic rock, Fischer's Tower (a 25-metre volcanic plug), and the narrow Ol Njorowa Gorge carved by ancient hot springs. It is one of only two national parks in Kenya where cycling and walking are permitted, making it popular with families and active travellers. Geothermal activity from the Olkaria power station vents steam across the landscape. Buffalo, eland, giraffe, and klipspringer graze along the main gorge road.
