Hell’s Gate National Park offers a dramatic and active safari experience set within the Great Rift Valley. Located near Lake Naivasha, the park covers about 68 square kilometers. Towering cliffs, volcanic plugs, deep gorges, and geothermal features define the landscape.

Wildlife roams freely across open plains. Visitors encounter giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, warthogs, impalas, and baboons. Predators remain few, which allows close-range exploration on foot and by bicycle. Birds of prey dominate the skies, including vultures and Verreaux’s eagles.

Hell’s Gate stands out for physical activities. Walking safaris, cycling, and rock climbing replace traditional game drives. The Ol Njorowa Gorge delivers narrow canyons, hot springs, and steam vents shaped by volcanic forces.

Geothermal activity surrounds the park. Nearby power stations highlight Kenya’s leadership in renewable energy, with geothermal sources contributing over 40 percent of national electricity generation.

Hell’s Gate National Park delivers a raw, adventurous safari driven by geology, movement, and close interaction with nature.
