• Named for the intense geothermal activity within its
boundaries, Hell's Gate National Park is a remarkable
quarter of the Great Rift Valley. Spectacular scenery
including the towering cliffs, water-gouged gorges, stark
rock towers, scrub clad volcanoes and belching plumes
of geothermal steam make it one of the most
atmospheric Parks in Africa. Hell’s Gate is an ideal venue
for a day trip from Nairobi where, in addition to the bio-
diversity that includes raptors, visitors can enjoy
mountain biking, rock climbing and a natural spa.
• Masai Mara National Reserve - The Masai Mara
National Reserve (also known as The Mara) is a large
game reserve in Narok County, Kenya; contiguous with
the Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It
is globally famous for its exceptional population of Masai
lions, African leopards and Tanzanian cheetahs, and the
annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and
wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from
July to October, known as the Great Migration. You
simply can’t visit Kenya without a stay in the Mara!
