The tour was great. Stephen is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about all the animal species and landmarks that you would see on this trip. He is incredibly courteous and friendly. The bike ride through Hell’s Gate was fantastic. It’s a great experience to be biking alongside amazing wildlife. Stephen made sure that everything was timed perfectly. I would highly recommend this trip with Gracepatt to anyone looking for a day activity from Nairobi, even if you have already done a safari.
Very helpful guids!

The level of kindness and service from this company was remarkable! We had a flight change and arrived a day later and they met us at the airport instead of the hotel. The driver was knowledgeable and made sure we had all that we needed. I was nervous, being a mom traveling with my son (14 years) but now we’re already talking about coming back!

This was a great experience. Having to explore the national park by bike is a nice touch. However you have to be physical fit to do the activities, ie biking and exploring the gorge. I haven't biked since high school or middle school and I was tried. Having Lake Naivasha at the end of the our was very relaxing and rewarding.

This tour was amazing! I was travelling alone and my guide Steven made my day perfect. He was very kind and trying to make me feel satisfied as much as he could. He also gave great suggestions. I would recommend everyone being in Nairobi to do this tour because it is the perfect 1-day tour !
