★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 192 reviews · from $125Our pick

Private bike and gorge walk in Hell's Gate, with Rift Valley viewpoints, Maasai culture, and optional Lake Naivasha boat spotting.

“This trip was an unparalleled way to get close to nature. All the animals look a whole lot larger when you’re not in a safari truck! The boat tour was also well worth the detour, lots of hippos and the best bird watching I’ve ever been around. They don’t take credit cards at the boat launch so remember to bring cash!”
