Frequently asked questions
Can you cycle in Hell's Gate National Park?

How far is Hell's Gate from Nairobi?
About 90–100 km, around 2 hours by road, so a full day gives you 5–6 hours in the park and at the lake.
Is the Lake Naivasha boat ride included?
No, it is an optional add-on of about USD 25 per person for a 1-hour ride to see hippos, fish eagles and pelicans.
