Getting into the actual park was kind of a hustle between all the forms you have to fill and no easy payment options.

The park have a good natural scenario and some herbivorous easily visible due to the lack of predators, on the other side the park is small and not so spectacular compared to other parks in Kenya.

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.
