“I had an amazing day out with Paul as my tour guide. This was a one of a kind (hopefully not once in a lifetime) experience that I will never forget. I did the tour by myself and felt completely comfortable and safe the whole time. The scenery was spectacular but what really had me gripped was learning about the area - both the the nature reserves, the valley itself and the communities within the valley. Paul was very knowledgeable on all these things and I had a wonderful day. I opted in for the boat tour based on comments here and 100% agree that this is a must. A…”
Bike Hell's Gate, walk its gorges, then boat on Lake Naivasha from Nairobi, with Rift Valley viewpoint stops and top guides.
“Really enjoyed our trip for the day. The price of the excursion is really just for the transport and bike hire, you have to pay for everything else yourself so it will end up being double the price in the end (excluding tips) which is why I gave it a 4 for value. The bike ride through Hell's gate was nice, although not a good 'safari' as such as not many animals, but it was a really unique way to see the park. The gorge walk was fantastic though. Also we loved the boat safari, one of the best things we did in our 2.5 week holiday- we saw so…”

Nairobi day tour to Lake Nakuru and Naivasha with pink flamingoes, rhinos, lions, and an optional boat for hippos.
“We had a good experience, however I would advise other travelers to consider the the it takes to get into the park. We were picked up at 6:00am but it took us 4 hours (which means 10:00am) to get into the park from Nairobi. By the time we got there the animals were hiding in the shade. Our driver did the best he could looking for the animals, we just got there too late in the day. The boat ride was different we were taken right up and close to some 30 or more hippopotamus in a canoe. I booked the tour and was scar to death of fear they…”
