Overview

Naivasha Hells Gate National Park is 90 km or 55 miles northwest from the capital of Nairobi and just south of Lake Naivasha. It’s an easy day trip from Nairobi and close to several other national parks such as Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. The park is open for wildlife viewing throughout the year however the rainy season could impede your touring during the wet season months of March through May. There’s so much to do in this small but very special national park. Enjoy the many kinds of safaris available here as you take in the dramatic canyons, peaks and spires. You’re sure to see abundant wildlife and thrill to the views, the steamy “atmosphere” and the land that inspired “The Lion King”.

A unique portion of the Great Rift Valley, Hell’s Gate National Park gets its name from the strong geothermal activity that occurs within its borders. It is one of the most atmospheric parks in Africa with its spectacular scenery of towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, austere rock towers, scrub-clad volcanoes, and spewing plumes of geothermal steam. A great place for a day excursion from Nairobi is Naivasha Hells Gate National Park, where tourists may enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing, and a natural spa in addition to the area’s biodiversity, which includes raptors.
