Where
Hell's Gate, Karura Forest, Rift Valley routes

Hell's Gate is the only national park in Kenya where you can ride a bicycle among the game, so that is where most of our rides go. You cycle the valley floor with zebra and buffalo grazing a short distance off the track, park the bikes then walk down into the gorge.

For riders who want distance rather than scenery we run road routes through the Rift Valley. Bikes can be hired at the gate if you do not own one. Helmets are not optional on any of our rides.

Where this takes you

  • Hell's Gate valley floor

    Roughly 22km of flat track between the cliffs, riding among zebra, warthog and buffalo.

  • Ol Njorowa gorge

    Leave the bikes at Central Tower and walk down into the narrow hot-spring gorge that inspired the Lion King landscapes.

  • Karura Forest

    A gentle option inside Nairobi. Shaded forest track, a waterfall stop and no park-gate drive to get there.
