A great destination for a day-trip from Nairobi, if only for a visit to the gorge.

A local friend of a friend drove us to the park; the traffic was very slow on the day so we didn't get much time to go around, but the walk in the gorge was well worth it. It demanded some scrambling on rocks and the local ranger was really good at keeping us safe. Walking between the gorge walls with volcanic glass on the ground was quite an experience, so were the hot springs seeping from the rock. We did not get to see much wildlife except vervet monkeys and some giraffe but friends who visited the day before saw baboons and more.

There wasn't as much wildlife here, but it was an amazing experience being able to cycle through there. The gorge walk was very nice.

Hell's gate is a nice park and worth a visit because it is one of the rare NPs where you can walk or ride a bike. Even you can not compare it with Masai Mara or Lake Nakuru NPs regarding the animals' species and quantity, but it is still worth a visit.

Being from Arizona, Hell's Gate felt like "home". The best part was I got out of the van and was able to walk around.

The scenery was incredible and very reminiscent of places near my home in the US, but due to illness and extra cost to do so, I did not get a chance to take a walk in the area.

Landscape and natural features made the site. 4x4 Traffic as it was high season lowered quality of experience somewhat.
