Know Before You Go

Hell's Gate is famous for its natural hot geysers, its eagle and vulture breeding grounds, and the variety of activities that visitors can engage in during their visit. Hiking, cycling, and rock climbing are just a few of the options available.

While Hell's Gate is known primarily for its landscape, games can still be spotted within the park. Buffalo, giraffes, elands, lions, leopards, and cheetahs can all be spotted on occasion.

Just one "Crescent Island Game Park" is located on Lake Naivasha, Kenya, in the Great Rift Valley. It is one of the most beautiful parks in Kenya and is Naivasha's best-kept secret. Surrounded by water, it is a peninsular and is accessible by boat from East or West as well as by road.

The shores host abundant bird life, including pelicans, cormorants, and fish-eagles with their haunting calls. There are more animals per acre than in any other Kenyan Park.
