My husband and I visited Hell’s Gate in October 2024, and it turned out to be one of the most unique and unforgettable adventures we’ve ever had. Cycling through this stunning landscape is an experience like no other! Bicycles are easily available for rent at the entrance, and taking a guide is completely optional, we explored on our own and felt perfectly safe throughout the visit. Do remember to carry water and some snacks, as there are no facilities once you enter the park. Even the toilets are only available at the entry and exit points. The best part? The wildlife experience! Animals roam freely around you, and cycling right beside them is simply amazing. We were lucky to spot warthogs, cape buffalo, giraffes, zebras, different types of deer, wildebeest, and so many more. It truly felt like pedaling through nature’s playground. I highly recommend opting for the cycle ride here. It’s absolutely worth visiting and offers memories that will stay with you forever.

One of very few wildlife parks that actually let you walk through with zebras and giraffes casually strolling by. However, if you are getting a guide for the stroll from outside the gates, make sure to negotiate the terms before you go in or your experience might end on a sour note. Our guide Chris insisted on us buying an entry ticket for him and then insisted on a 50USD fee for taking three of us through the park once we were done. A fine experience marred at the end for not wanting to squabble over expenses we know were unnecessarily high. As a tourist wanting to give back to the community, we had a mind to tip him but found that he insisted on way way more himself. Not a good feeling to end up cheated. Well, it is what it is. Good park. Guide not necessary till you hit the gorge. Negotiate terms. Avoid Chris. Update: Realised later that the guided trip through the gorge should last between 60 to 90 minutes. For us, it was barely 15 minutes. And our guide Chris also insisted on us paying for a 6 to 12 seater van even though we took a 6 seater in to pick us up at the end of the trail. Scam upon scam. Avoid.

Absolutely incredible. This was my favourite part of the safari, beating Masai Mara and Amboseli. We chose to bike through the park getting very close to the animals. It had a completely different feeling compared to the safari-van. It is great for a few hours and as a complement to other parks.
