Very nice 1 day trip. Hells gate and naivasha lake. We had the nicest guide in hells gate (Reagan) and a very skilled and good humor driver (Denis).

  I had a really fantastic time exploring Hell’s Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha with African Beast Tours and Safaris. My guide Douglas was outstanding: kind, knowledgeable, very friendly, and... read more an excellent driver, which, trust me, you want to manage the streets and traffic of Kenya. Douglas prepared me for the day, explained everything in detail, and answered all of my questions.

It takes about two hours to get to Hell’s gate, after a brief stop for a photo of the great Rift Valley. At hells gate, you meet a second guide, select a bicycle, and take a 16km round trip bike ride, with a hike along the gorge rim in between. On the bike ride we saw: warthogs, zebras, African buffalo, giraffes, impala, and baboons. Going into the gorge is now forbidden because several people died in a flash flood. The walk around the rim is just as exciting and the views are excellent. The bike ride back is tricky, as it is mostly uphill, so having some conditioning helps. We got stuck in a downpour and the guide was kind enough to call a car to pick us up and finish the last few km.

Lake Naivasha is beautiful. The boat ride is not included in the price of the tour, and costs about $25, but it’s worth it. Our guide Shadrach was excellent. We visited three families of hippopotamus and saw many bird species. He even through fish out to the African fish eagles so we could get pics and videos of them swooping in on their prey.

The whole day is relaxed and chill, not rushed, even though it’s a lot to do. Thanks so much to Douglas and African Beast Tours for making My first day in Kenya very memorable.

  I came to Nairobi on a business trip and was not sure if I would be able to fit in an excursionI am so happy I did!!

My tour... read more guides Selestine and Jane were so much fun, knowledgeable, and kind to a solo traveler. It can always be awkward when you do these things alone but they made me feel like family!

They catered the days events to exactly what I wanted to do as I was the only person on the tour and it was an amazing experience. I am already looking forward to my next trip with them!

Asante Selestine and Jane!!

We had a great... read more day and would recommend it to everyone!

  The game bike ride and the boat ride at lake Naivasha was lovely and a very good experience for us, it was the best way to get out of... read more Nairobi and enjoy the fresh air of the rift valley.
The only negative part of the trip was the guide from the tour operator.
The lady and the driver were very unfriendly, especially the lady she was very personal with her questions , being Kenyans on a day safari doesn’t mean that we all of a sudden became your brothers and were not accorded all the respect other tourists from foreign countries receive.
The boat ride at lake Naivasha was very professional and friendly and our boat trip was the best highlights of the day ..
