I spent another $15 for a camping permit, and enjoyed lovely views of the cliff-lined pastures as the sun set. You are supposed to carry in your own wood or charcoal, but I found a generous pile of dead wood that the park rangers had left behind for campfires. I was told a leopard sometimes relaxes on the rocky ledge above the campsite when the sun comes up; I woke up early to try and spot it but had no luck.
The narrow, winding gorge makes a good walk, though on weekends it will be crowded with

Kenyans. It is dry most of the time, but floods dangerously when it rains. Tragically, seven people drowned in a flash flood there in April 2012. New warning measures are expected to be put in place to prevent such incidents in the future.A bike rental for the day should cost 500 shillings, and you can rent one at the turnoff for Elsa Gate (the first park gate as you travel along South Lake Road). Pedestrians can get off the "matatu" public bus here and just walk in. The gate is supposed to be 2 km in from the road, but it is really only 1 km.

We booked a bicycle ride in Hell's Gate and it was good. There were baboons and zebra at the 1st part of the ride and the scenery was amazing!!! I am glad we did it, but if I went again, this would be the only thing that I would not repeat.

Overall good, but not extremely spectacular to be honest. Don't fall in the trap of paying additional for the Masai experience, not worth it.

It was very different and great to be able to walk in this park and get close to the animals.

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