About Hell's Gate National Park

Hell's Gate is unlike any other Kenyan park: no big cats, so you can cycle past zebra, gazelle and giraffe, then leave the bike and scramble down the gorge with a Maasai guide. The cliffs and Fischer's Tower inspired scenery in The Lion King. Geothermal steam vents hiss along the lower trails.
