The best time to book the trip is throughout the year. However, the dry seasons (June to October and January to March) offer optimal weather for outdoor activities like biking and walking safaris.
While the bike ride is not overly strenuous, some level of fitness is recommended, as you will be cycling through rough terrain. If you're unsure, you can choose to join the walking safari instead.
No, the boat ride at Lake Naivasha is optional and is not included in the safari cost. The boat ride costs extra and can be paid on the day of the trip.
There are no strict age restrictions, but children under 12 years may find the bike ride challenging. The walking safari is suitable for all ages, but we recommend a moderate level of fitness.
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and closed shoes suitable for walking or biking. Don't forget a hat, sunscreen, camera, and any personal items you may need for the day.
The drive from Nairobi to Hells Gate National Park typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
