During the walking safari in September be prepared for a hot day. Nice cliffs, not too much animals. Great guide Sophie.

We visited this park by bike, which you could rent at the entrance, how beautiful it is to cycle past the zebras when the giraffes look at you. There was a whole group of baboons where we stopped and the baboons just came very close. The tour through the valley was beautiful and the local guide was very well informed about all the sights. Highly recommended.

Same as Amboseli. There were not as many animals as I hoped, but sometimes that’s how it goes.

Our guide did not give us enough time there, we had to wait for him in the morning, so we left late.
We did not see enough of the park. Anyway - there were zebras, giraffes and birds - we did not see many, as we went there after Masai Maara.
To hire a bike you need to pay 10 USD extra. I would say you can skip it.

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.

Opt for a cycling tour. Can be skipped if doing Nakuru/Mara, as the gorges are closed.

One of the most beautiful walks i have been on - you can walk all the way through the park or hire a bicylce and cycle through, and see wildlife on the way - zebras, warthog, giraffe etc. The park is in an extinct volcano and so the rock formations are amazing. I would recommend this to anyone to visit!

Hell's gate is great, but not the right thing if you are looking for a "traditional safari". You should add it in a tour while visiting other parks.
