Highlights
This tour offers a unique blend of adventure and relaxation, making it one of the most rewarding day trips from Nairobi. Unlike traditional wildlife safaris, it gives you the rare opportunity to explore a national park on foot or by bicycle, allowing you to experience the breathtaking scenery and wildlife of Hell's Gate National Park from a completely different perspective. After an active morning surrounded by dramatic cliffs, volcanic landscapes, and free-roaming wildlife, the experience concludes with a soothing visit to the Olkaria Geothermal Spa, where you can relax in naturally heated mineral pools set within Kenya's spectacular Great Rift Valley. The combination of outdoor adventure, scenic beauty, geothermal wellness, and easy accessibility from Nairobi creates a memorable and well-balanced excursion suitable for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and travelers looking for something beyond the typical game drive.

About Nairobi
Nairobi is Kenya's energetic capital and the starting point for East African safari, with a national park where wildlife roams beneath the city skyline.
Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the suburbs, and its lions, rhinos, giraffes and buffalo can be seen with skyscrapers on the horizon. Close by, an orphanage raises young elephants rescued from across Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre lets visitors meet rare Rothschild's giraffes eye to eye from a raised platform.
