When I tell my friends about Hell's Gate, they normally squint their eyes with confusion.
It is understandable because of the word 'Hell'.
Hell's Gate National Park got its name after a narrow break in the cliffs. Once a tributary of a prehistoric lake that fed early humans in the Rift Valley.
Hell's Gate is also ideal for mountain climbers.
But even if you are not, adrenaline rush can be found in other activities while at Hell's Gate.
While at Hell's Gate, there is an option of cycling while your safari vehicle is following you.
The real adventure is that Hell's Gate is a park, which means there are wild animals there.
Relax!- there are no big cats or elephants. I know, for a moment you probably thought that that why would people travel far and wide to risk their lives like that?
Cycling at Hell's Gate National Park will give you an illusion of somewhat close to Paradise.
Imagine this:
You are in an open place, you can see how green the grass on the sideroad is, the rocks besides you look like it is giving you a standing ovation, as the dust of the Africa ground swirls at the wheels of the bicycle.
Inside Hell's Gate National Park, there is a place called Ol Jorowa Gorge.
The gorge runs through the heart of the park, is a deep valley sheared by rusty-hued rock walls.
Ever heard of a saying that says, 'I wish the earth would swallow me alive'.
It can feel like one is swallowed by the earth.
Fun fact about the Gorge is that it inspired the famous animation : Lion King.
Have you read our previous blog post of client who spent their honeymoon in Kenya and they got the inspiration from Lion King?

Inside Hell's Gate National park, there is a volcanic column tower called, Fischer's tower and it is 25 metres high.
It is called Fischer because it was named after a German explorer called, 'Gustav Fischer'.
Fischer's tower is famous for rock climbing-to get that adrenaline rush.
If you want a day off with friends or family , to enjoy nature in its raw form or you just want to rock climb, Hell's Gate will quench that thirst.
