The 15 Best Private Tours in Kenya

Hell's Gate National Park Private Bike Tour from Nairobi - Two hours on a bicycle inside Hell’s Gate

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

Cycle beside zebras at Hell's Gate, hike volcanic gorges, meet a Maasai community, and add a hippo boat ride from Nairobi.

“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!”
