After breakfast from your residential area, you will be picked up by our driver and drive to Hell's gate national park.Hell’s Gate National Park is located in the southern part of Kenya just northwest of Nairobi. The national park encompasses an area of 26.35 square miles (68.25 sq km). Hell’s Gate borders up to the sister Lake Nakuru National Park.

The park is only 56 miles (90 km) from Nairobi sitting at an elevation of 6,200 feet (1,900 m) above sea level. Hell’s Gate Gorge is the main attraction and basis for the park’s name. Red walled cliffs travel along the gorge and feature two volcanic rock formations known as Fischer’s Tower and Central Tower.

A smaller gorge trails away from Central Tower and leads to an area of hot springs. The springs are hot enough to cause burns. There are two extinct volcanoes known as Olkaria and Hobley’s found with the park boundaries.

Here you will be offered a chance for a boat ride if interested. you will also have close encounter with hippos on your way to the crescent islands and for those who have interest in bird watching there is a nice chance to enjoy them. Later in the evening you will drive to Nairobi and be dropped in your area of preference in Nairobi. End of safari.
