Top Tips

This would be the most likely (and easiest) point of entry for . Indeed, it’s conveniently close to at .
You can rent bicycles here for KES500, but don’t forget the extra KES215 you will also have to pay just to use them in the park ;).
If you’re feeling brave and are fed up with haemorrhaging money in East Africa, you could perhaps cycle straight through this gate and into the park. Our tickets, at least, were never again checked.

Top Descriptions

This is a rare opportunity to cycle on a game drive instead of drive or be driven (although you can choose to drive if you want to). As there are no predators dangerous enough to humans in this national park, you’ll have free roam to cycle along the dusty main roads right through its impressive rocky heart. Herds of zebra, antelope and warthog are easy spots among the plains and cliffs, but even small herds of giraffes are found here hiding among the bushes. Unfortunately though, it’s not all good news and experiences at Hell’s Gate National Park. In fact, it might be a good idea to visit this area before the construction work really takes over.

Top Tips

Although you can expect to see a fair variety and density of wildlife on such a short stretch of road, the experience at would certainly be lessened in a traditional safari vehicle – try walking or rent a bike from the or !
Watch out for rogue buffalo (especially herds of them) as they don’t see too well ;).
If you happen to miss the giraffes along this route, we were advised to head 2 or 3 kilometres up the gorge side of the Buffalo Circuit (any further with bikes would be “tricky”). Indeed, we saw one along this route and then three at the top where the circuit is intersected by a tarmac road.

Top Descriptions

Though currently still a worthwhile enough experience, Hell’s Gate National Park sadly has a questionable future ahead of it, especially now that government-led fracking has (quite evidently) begun here. Rumour has it that the park may soon enough be demoted from its national status – and when that happens, who knows what will become of the resident wildlife. For now, giraffes will continue to carefully avoid the miles of piping that litters the park, and sizeable herds of zebra and eland will continue to roam the rocky and impressive landscape. Come here before it really is too late. – Daniel

Top Tips

This is one of the few game reserves which you can explore either on bicycle or by foot – and there’s even some rock climbing to be done here too. All activities can be done without a guide, apparently due to the lack of predators in the park – although what that fact actually says about the health of the area, we are left to wonder.
Bikes can be rented either from the for KES500 or (among other places) at in nearby for KES700.
