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.

Good park to visit by bike. I wouldn't recommend a safari here as the park itself is nothing special the only intersting thing is that you can rent a bike to go to the gorge. Girges are really nice!

I took a driving tour through Hell's Gate National Park even though you can actually walk or bicycle through it due to the fact that there are no predatory animals in the park. I saw some zebra, giraffe, and a few types of antelope, but I wouldn't come here just for wildlife viewing. For me the highlight was walking down into and through the gorges. It was beautiful and very interesting. A maasai guide took me down and told me some of the history of the area. And I got to wash my hands in a hot geothermal stream that was flowing down the rocks. The beauty of these gorges is definitely worth a visit. There's a lot of geothermal activity in the park and before we reached the gorge, we drove through an area with a lot of plants that were harnessing that energy, which is a good thing, but it detracted from the beauty of the park. Once you got through that area though, it was nice. I was glad to be driving through because it started to rain right after I finished my hike through the gorge. I would love to go back though and maybe bicycle in the park.

Hell's gate is a unique park as you can cycle inside the park, that's pretty cool. There is plenty of zebras and wathogs etc but no predators.

Not well-maintained. Susceptible to flash floods--see recent deaths in late April 2012.

Overall good, but not extremely spectacular to be honest. Don't fall in the trap of paying additional for the Masai experience, not worth it.

It was very different and great to be able to walk in this park and get close to the animals.

Landscape and natural features made the site. 4x4 Traffic as it was high season lowered quality of experience somewhat.
