Great place to get out of the truck and join the wildlife. Ride a mountain bike alongside zebras and gazelles. Explore sandstone caverns.

Not a big park, but you can get close to the animals and you can walk free around. A walk to the gorge and to the hot springs should not be missed.
Hells Gate is a nice, small and very different National Park close to Lake Naivasha. The main attraction is, suprisingly, not the wildlife but the gorge. The landscape has been formed by giantic ancient streams of lava. A walk (climbing with a guide) though is an exciting advanture. It is the only Park in Kenya you can explore on a bicycle cause of the absence of large predetors (so they say).

Stopped along the way from Naivasha to the Mara. Smaller in scale than most of the other parks though no less interesting and there are a quantity of wildlife to view.
Off the beaten path destination with genuine Masai people and unique and beautiful landscape
Hells Gate National Park in Kenya's Great Rift Valley is a small off the beaten path park worth visiting if you have a couple of days. Although the wildlife is not as prolific as some of the other parks in Kenya it is a fascinating geological park with hot springs, ancient, volcanos, lava plugs, and gorges. There are plenty of nice walking trails around the park and picnic sites. We also visited a Masaai village and learned how the local Masai people live and how to make a fire.
