About 90km from Nairobi, south of Lake Naivasha, you can find Hell’s Gate National Park.

Have you ever experienced a safari by bicycle? This is your chance. How nice is it to spot the giraffes, zebras, buffalos, warthogs, elands, heartebeests, Thomson gazelles, baboons,... on your bike while you feel the adrenaline flowing through your body. The big rock formations in the background complete the picture. This is really experiencing nature in a unique and sporty way.

 

After your 7km bike ride, you reach the Hell’s Gate Gorge. Here, you can discover this valley enclosed by high rock walls under the guidance of a guide. The impressive and somewhat challenging walk takes you back to where the story of the famous "Lion King" took place. It is here that the filmmakers were inspired for their scenery of the film.
