Hell’s Gate National Park

This small park near Lake Naivasha isn’t on many safari itineraries. It contains a nice variety of plains animals, but it lacks most of the flagship species. The appeal lies more in the scenery with impressive sandstone cliffs and volcanic outcrops. Rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking are some of the activities available. It’s one of the few parks in Kenya where you can easily walk among herds of plains animals.
