5.00Hells Gate is one for the books and to do's.. I booked this a day prior and was able to get slot. I must say it exceeded my expectations as it offers unique features such as cycling, walking, and just embracing scenic views. The guides were also very knowledgeable and know how to handle us. Highly Recommend.
Amazing experience

5.00Amazing experience. Our tour guides Jaffar and Harrison were wonderful and very knowledgeable. They were also prepared and planned us a visit to a beads factory where we learned about how beads were made and designed. We also visited the giraffe centre and Nairobi National Park. There was no wait time
