User Reviews of Hell’s Gate National Park (91 Reviews)

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.
