Hell’s gate is a special park in Kenya in the sense that you can cycle or walk around. It’s located near Lake Naivasha, 150 km from Nairobi. The main attraction is the Gorge, located 8 km from Elsa Gate. The Routard said it could remind us of Petra in Jordan… well let’s not exagerate please… But the Gorge can get water and there there were hot springs were you can even boil eggs!
The other beautiful part of the park is the scenary. Huge special rocks I hadn’t seen anywhere else in Kenya…
And zebras, warthogs, many birds…interesting plants, flowers… insects.
I chose to ride a cycle myself, and I thought I saw a buffalo from a distance. Then I laughed at how ridiculous this was: there could not allow people to walk or ride around if there were actually buffalos inside the park! Buffalos are the most dangerous aggressive animals, that was literaly impossible…So I proceeded to the Gorge.
And on the way back I saw not one but many buffalos… staring at me….mmm… let me take a deep breath…as I cycle past them…
Waooo….that was scary!
