Cycle through Hell’s Gate, walk its gorges, and add a Lake Naivasha boat ride on this budget day trip from Nairobi.

“Nice tour but very dishonest operator. The operator promised to arrange my transfer to the airport for a fee but did not do so. When I contacted her, she said to get my own ride and she’d pay for it remotely. When I arrived, she refused both mine and the taxi drivers calls, leaving me responsible for the payment”
