Biking the Great Rift Valley, Boat Ride on Lake Naivasha - This experience makes for such a fun and full day; Getting out for some physical activity, being able to bike through such a stunning valley full of magnificent wildlife with a short hike into a remarkable canyon. Then enjoying some delicious and freshly made local cuisine, relaxing for a lovely boatride, with many incredible photo opportunities along the way. The guides are also very knowledgeable. My driver was exceptional;, clean car, safe driving, great conversation, very knowledgeable and showed warm hospitality. No issues with correspondence or logistics. Highly recommend

Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha Tour - We availed of the Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha Tour. We were picked up on time by our driver Patrick as he also shared good info on our way to Hells Gate. We enjoyed the experience and interesting information shared by our guide/driver Patrick and also Victor who was our guide at Hells Gate. We’ve seen lots of animals and had a nice refreshing walk at the gorge. We spent time at the boat tour and great to see the show at the lake throwing fish for the eagle! We capped off our tour with nice a lunch.

One Perfect Day! - I had a fantastic day at Hell’s Gate and Naivasha will my driver-guide David! He was timely, enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, and tailored the day to my specific interests. The absolute highlight for me was spotting my favorite animal, the hyrax! David knew exactly where to find them and made my dream of spotting one in the wild come true! The pacing of the tour was perfect to pack a lot into the day without feeling rushed. I also enjoyed my time hiking in the gorge with Hell’s Gate Community Guide Frederick, and the peaceful boating on Lake Naivasha. This (solo) private tour was an excellent value for the money, and was truly a day I will never forget!

Heaven not Hell - I had no idea what to expect, our driver David communicated the night before in a friendly professional way, he turned up 10 mins early which was great. The drive was a bit wild by UK standards but I felt safe in his hands. The bike ride through to Hells Gate was spectacular the bikes were old but safe, our guide Fred was nice and stopped when we wanted no problem, to be riding along side zebra, warthogs, giraffe and buffalo was nothing short of one of the best travel experiences I've had. The gorge walk was also fabulous the guide was also excellent and made us feel safe. The optional boat ride was so relaxing the animal experience was fabulous and the the birds were spectacular. Well worth the money!

Amazing experience! - Our driver Patrick (that's my name too!) was very knowledgeable and got us to Hell’s Gate without any issues. Regan guided us through the park on bicycle and foot with lots of opportunities to see zebras, impalas, giraffes, and more! Then it was off to Lake Naivasha where John piloted us to see hippopotamus, wildebeest, more zebras, tons of birds and even fed a couple of African Fish Eagles. Afterward Patrick got us safely back to our accommodations. We took lots of pictures and made memories of a lifetime.
