A weekly Saturday adventure inside Hell’s Gate National Park — one of Kenya’s only parks where you can walk and cycle among giraffes, zebras and buffalo. The day blends technical rock climbing at the park’s famous crags with cycling and a guided trek through the Ol Njorowa Gorge’s canyon, hot springs and water-sculpted rock formations.

All technical climbing gear (harnesses, helmets, ropes, climbing shoes) and certified instructors are provided. Lines are set up for beginners, intermediates and advanced climbers. Suitable from 4 years and up — no group size limit.
