Thank God. - At Hell's Gate, we saw giraffes and zebras in the planning. In one lake we could see hippos. At Lake Nakuru, we saw hippos, buffalo, lions and rhinos. The bike was tough.

A mini solo Safari with 5 star guide Titus. Recommended. - With only 2 days available to me I did the Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru tour including one overnight hotel stay in Nakuru. I was the only traveller which made it expensive but I had the vehicle to myself and my driver and part trip guide Titus was excellent company. Also I enjoy travelling on my own so it was perfect for me. All of the pre-trip logistics and communications were well handled including accommodating last minute changes on my part. Titus managed all of my events in an efficient manner and gave me the flexibility to make some changes to schedule to maximise my trip enjoyment. Titus is an excellent driver which is very important as the single lane road requires careful overtaking and could be quite dangerous. He is knowledgeable and personable but very professional at all times. The tour provides a snapshot of Kenya and some of its parks and excellent for those with limited time. The hotel appeared functional only but the room and food were actually very good so had been well selected. Would recommend the trip to a friend without hesitation and ask for Titus!

Totally worth it - The trip was amazing. Wellington was really nice and we enjoyed every part of the program. The suprisingly great was also the accomodation, we did not expected that it will be so luxury and comfortable. If you had some time in Kenya, you should definitely take this tour.

Lakes near Nairobi - We had a fantastic time exploring Hells Gate, Lake Naivasha, and Lake Nakuru! Our driver, Stephen, was very prompt, helpful, and informative. He helped us get some amazing views of rhinos and lions at Lake Nakuru which was a major highlight. Overall, would highly recommend taking this tour!

A Safari to Remember - This tour was booked months in advance. Grace, our point of contact was super kind and responsive before and during the trip. There was a little hiccup during pickup where Stephen was trying to reach us in the room, instead of whatsapp as with other tours. We were at breakfast so we connected a little after the set time. Aside from that, most amazing trip! He answered all our questions, explained things along the way. Was super adaptable to our requests along the way. Very gracious, knowledgeable and easy going. He made sure we got as close as reasonably possible to All wildlife and was an amazing photographer throughout the trip. Would definitely recommend him and the tour to anyone. It definitely surpassed expectations!

Nakuru, Naivasha and hell's gate - The biking in the park, the boat tour and the Nakuru national park were stunning. The biking was really good but there were many cars and much dust that made the experience not fully enjoyable. During the boat tour we could see many birds and hippos. The morning after is completely dedicated to Nakuru. Despite there are very few flamingos, we could see yenas, lions, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, and many more. It was really worth
