This was the second trip we took with African Beast Tours and Safaris after our exceptional trip to Masai Mara Park. Harrison, our driver picked us from the hotel on... read more time and drove us to Hell’s Gate Park, while talking to us about the country, the people, the plantations, the towns. His driving was very good, we felt safe and we enjoyed the ride. At Hell’s Gate we waited for more than half an hour, without an explanation, for a guide. Eventually, we were taken inside the park (we did not cycle) by Gadafi, who, though clearly a senior and very experienced guide, was rather bored and uninterested. He spent quite a lot of time talking on his mobile and every other guide we met during our visit and his guiding was superficial. To be honest, one does not need much guiding in the park, but it would have been better if for the 1 hour (more or less) we spent in it, we knew what we were seeing and why. The walk was ok, even for the non-hiking experts and the view from the top over the gorge is wonderful. Since the gorge is not approachable, it would be better not to claim in the advertising material that it is. During the drive and the walk, we had the opportunity to see giraffes, zebras, antelopes and gazelles, all in a very nice environment. Once we met Harrison at the exit, we were driven to Lake Naivasha where at the restaurant by the shore we order a light lunch for after our visit to the lake and the Crescent island. After a short coffee break, we embarked on a small boat, with our captain, Nixon and Harrison. Nixon made us feel safe, showed us an amazing array of birds, stopped repeatedly to allow us to take pictures and took us to the island smoothly and safely while talking to us about the lake and the island. There, we met Mary, who took us on a nice walk among many animals that we have seen during our Masai Mara visit, but never approached. Here we had the opportunity to get close to ostriches, giraffes and baby giraffes, zebras, antelopes, monkeys, wildebeest, gazelles, and many many birds. Mary was knowledgeable, pleasant and polite. We took the boat back to the shore, and Nixon showed us more birds while taking us back safely and smoothly. After our brief lunch, Harrison drove us back to Nairobi where we arrived tired, but very happy with what we had seen and experienced.

  Excellent tour to a beautiful part of Kenya, and very easy to do as a day trip from Nairobi. Patrick (our driver) and Reagan (our bike guide) were both excellent... read more - friendly and knowledgeable. Would thoroughly recommend!

  Wonderful trip in nature! Saw lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery, a great way to experience the country in a more adventurous way. Don’t miss the boat ride at the... read more end! My guides Frederick and Josphat were perfect, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My driver Harrison was very good, safe, explained everything that I was doing for the day, where he would be and was very informative about the areas we drove through, not to mention his great personality! All in all a fantastic trip beginning to end.

  We had a great time with our guide Frank and our driver Patrick. The bike ride was a little challenging but nothing crazy. We were able to see many animals:... read more zebra, giraffe, gazelle, warthogs, buffalo. Unfortunately the main gorge is closed right now so we were not able to walk into it. The boat ride was good, we saw hippos and a lot of birds. Our favorite was the pelicans. Please be aware that the boat ride is an additional 25 USD per person. Also, our lunch came out to around 25 USD for two people, this is also not included. Also, we stopped at a a viewpoint for the Great Rift Valley on the way. We were given some information by a local who worked in a souvenir shop. After his information he ushered us into the shop and we felt very pressured into buying something. Just be aware that the initial prices are a very big rip off. We ended up paying about 10 USD for two small soap stone animals which was way overpriced, but we just wanted to get out of there. I would recommend just tipping the local a little bit if you don't want to buy something, and don't walk into the shop.

  nice 2-day Amboseli tour. The driver/guide was always on time, and was stopping any time I asked him to do for taking pictures, even if in the end the park... read more tour lasted more than foreseen. Despite that and the traffic, e were back to Nairobi on time.
Park is nice, views on Kilimanjaro (only on clear days), lots of elephants, very beautiful lake and water birds.

  Great organization and communication
Guides were very friendly and gave a lot of interesting information about history and nature and the animals.
