Hell’s Gate National Park

The ominously named Hell’s Gate National Park is a small but popular park close to Nairobi. Visitors are encouraged to explore the park by hiking or cycling amongst the roaming wildlife.

Due to its small size in relative comparison to other national parks, this is not the park for you if you are eager to see lions, cheetahs and leopards. They are seldom seen here! However, there is still a variety of wildlife within the park and you are likely to see antelopes, gazelles, zebras and buffalos which should satisfy your Kenya wildlife quota! 

Hell’s Gate offers wonderful landscape scenery of soaring cliffs, grasslands and has great gorge walks to venture on. Visitors can choose to camp within the 3 campsites at Hell’s Gate; Ol Dubai, Naiburta and Endachata They each have picnic areas and are equipped with functioning wash facilities such as showers and running water.
