Hell’s Gate National Park
Hell’s Gate National Park is a small park near Lake Naivasha. It has a variety of plains animals but lacks most flagship species: you wouldn’t come here for the wildlife. The appeal lies more in the scenery, with impressive sandstone cliffs and volcanic outcrops such as Fischer’s Tower. These provide the backdrop to some brilliant activities, including rock climbing, hiking and mountain biking.
