Hell's Gate National Park

Yesterday we arrived at Lake Naivasha and after a short, but somewhat disappointing Hippo cruise, it was off to Hell's Gate National Park - the inspiration of Lion King, which was partly filmed here.

6 of us hired bikes and we cycled 10km each way through the park, which was a nice change of scenery, after having spent lots of time sitting on the truck or 4x4 during the game drives. On the way, we saw some wildlife, such as zebras, a herd of buffaloes, monkeys, and giraffes.

Once we arrived at the Rangers' station, we hired a guide and then explored the park for 1.5h and went to the Lion King movie location where Mufasa was thrown into the gorge by Scar. Tomb Raider was also partly filmed here.Read more
