Really loved this tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

This tour was such a great way to unwind and start my weekend. My guides Peter and Gadaffi were very accommodating and answered my questions about Kenya. The bike ride is picturesque with rock formations and incredible views. The boat ride after lunch was also quite the treat. I saw hippos upclose and it felt like a true safari! I highly recommend this tour!

Heavenly trip to Hell’s Gate and back

Published on Jul, 2024

The trip to Hell’s Gate Park was quite incredible. It’s a pretty long trek from Nairobi, but worth it.we took (slightly uncomfortable, but working… they did the job) bikes into the park. We were assigned a (mandatory) guide who was excellent and had great stories to tell along the way. Our driver for the day was prompt, courteous and patient. His vehicle was clean and comfortable for the long journey along bumpy roads. The trip to the lake was amazing, take the boat ride, it’s worth it!

Hells Gate adventure

Published on Dec, 2023

What a magnificent excursion! As soon as I was told that we were going down the path a bit difficult, I boarded. I love these kinds of adventures. Peter was a perfect guide. He had explained everything to me about what to expect and where. Going there by bike added fun and spice to the adventure, it's so much more pleasant than doing it by car. In my opinion, this is exactly how you should get there, you can enjoy nature 100%. Thank you very much, I loved my experience with Peter and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun and discover breathtaking places.

Book your tour with Jared!

Published on Sep, 2023

I had the most amazing time biking, hiking and boating with Jared in Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha! He's friendly and incredibly knowledgeable with animal facts. Jared picked me up from Simba Lodge on time and the whole day just felt really carefree. I highly recommend booking a tour with Jared!

HELLS gate and Naivasha

Published on Apr, 2023

Super nice trip, safe walking between antilopes and zebras. Lunar landscape and very hot - if you intend to ride a bike don't forget your 50SPF cream and water. The geothermal swimming pool is big enough to enjoy it even if many people were there too. Naivasha is a place to relax and enjoy good food, sleep, herbivors ( including hypos during the night) and monkeys coming on the terrace free of any restriction. Finally we didn't visit the island, but we seems that the place keeps alive the filming of "Out of Africa" (1984) and the animals brought there for the filming are enjoying for almost 40 years a nice life. The guide, Peter was very knowledgeable and prompt, safe driving, closing the circle of a very good weekend break. We recommend his services for a reasonably priced and enjoyable break.
