During the walking safari in September be prepared for a hot day. Nice cliffs, not too much animals. Great guide Sophie.

Our guide did not give us enough time there, we had to wait for him in the morning, so we left late.
We did not see enough of the park. Anyway - there were zebras, giraffes and birds - we did not see many, as we went there after Masai Maara.
To hire a bike you need to pay 10 USD extra. I would say you can skip it.

Opt for a cycling tour. Can be skipped if doing Nakuru/Mara, as the gorges are closed.

Hell's gate is great, but not the right thing if you are looking for a "traditional safari". You should add it in a tour while visiting other parks.

Sure this is nice but after Masai Mara this is a bit empty

I could not spot any wildlife barring few zebras and the landscape there was my least favourite in comparison to the Mara and Lake Nakuru Park. Lake Naivasha though must not be missed though.

Very dusty if you hire a bike. You have to stay on the track so get clouds of dust when vehicles pass.

We rented bikes to ride in, entrance fees for non-Kenyans are way too high! Bikes were not safe, however, sand on the road and no tread on the tires of the bikes. Hike in to the Devil's Bedroom was more than I was ready for, but beautiful once we got there.

The scenery was unusual and we had a wonderful walk in the gorge, to the Devil's bedroom.
