Really lovely day trip from Nairobi Jimmy was a wonderful guide & a really safe driver Victor gave me a great time cycling in the NP. Saw so many animals Very odd to see how much land has been lost to the rise in level of Lake Naivasha since I was last here
Great time in Naivasha

I couldn’t recommend this tour enough! It was easy to arrange and the perfect way to spend the day. I ended up having a private tour and my guides Jimmy & Dominic were such a joy to spend the day with. They were super attentive and did everything to make sure I had a great and successful time. Charles, who took me on the bike tour through Hells Gate was also amazing. He was very informative, kind and took great photos of me with the animals! This tour was great given my tight timeline in Kenya. Thank you!!
So perfect!

A wonderful day! Lake navaisha was beautiful, many very beautiful birds in addition to hippos. The bike tour in hell gate is also a unique experience! But the best part is for me the driver: Jimmy is on top, I had a great day with him

We had an unforgettable time with our guide Bernard. The valley where we then hiked was the inspiration for the scene from Lion King where Mufasa dies – it’s a beautiful place. The boat trip was worth the extra money despite bad weather – there were also plenty of hippos, eagles, waterfowl, zebras, antelopes to see. I can recommend this whole tour 100%.

I booked the trip late but it turned out to be the most amazing experience I had in Kenya. Jimmy is a very lovely and professional guy, he came right on time to pick me up and the whole trip felt like 2 friends going on a tour. Sawa, He’s the “East African Man” that’s his new name lol. I enjoyed his company, the gists, song vibes, historical stories about Kenya and the beautiful pics. I didn’t want the trip to end. The tour guides at the Hell’s gate and Naivasha lake were really nice as well. Asante Excellent Games sporting Adventures for the quick plans and giving me the most comfortable payments option, I would not have had the beautiful tour with the East African man. I miss Kenya already. Asante sana!

Betty was incredibly helpful in organizing our tour. We had specific timing needs and requested to start and finish earlier than the standard itinerary, which she kindly accommodated without any issues. Jimmy, our tour driver, was an absolute delight. He was not only professional but also great company, making the journey enjoyable and filled with good conversation and laughter. Our first stop was Hell's Gate for a cycling tour. Jimmy dropped us off at the bike shed, where we met a local guide who accompanied us on a scenic ride through the park. The guide provided interesting insights as we explored the park and walked through the gorge. The views were breathtaking, and we were lucky to spot a variety of animals up close. Afterward, we visited the lake to see hippos, vibrant birdlife, and the stunning Crescent Island. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, seamlessly organized and thoroughly enjoyable.
Amazing views and guide

The tour was amazing. Peter and Dominic were really nice and professional. I learnt a lot about Mt Longonot and was glad to finish the hike. I don’t think I would be able to finish it alone, again thank you for all !
Great solo trip to Hell's and Naivasha!

I visited Hells National Park and Lake Naivasha on my own and was great! Victor Okello, the driver and guide, came to pick mi up in the hotel, very punctual, very good driver and explained me some things about Kenya and the park along the way. Then I visited the park and lake with two local guides, also very attentive! The landscape and animals are wonderful. It was a great experience that I would undoubtedly repeat!
