What to expect

Hell’s Gate National Park

You can walk or cycle through the park alongside zebras, giraffes, and antelopes, surrounded by dramatic cliffs, open plains, and volcanic landscapes. This freedom to explore without a vehicle makes the experience active, immersive, and very different from a traditional game drive.

You will also walk through the famous Hell’s Gate Gorge, where towering rock walls, hot springs, and geothermal steam vents create a striking natural atmosphere. With your guide explaining the volcanic history and wildlife, the experience feels both educational and thrilling, perfect for travelers who enjoy nature with a sense of adventure.
