Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate National Park is a unique and dramatic landscape located near Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Rift Valley. Known for its towering cliffs, deep gorges, geothermal activity, and striking rock formations, the park inspired scenes from the movie The Lion King. Unlike many parks in Kenya, Hell’s Gate allows visitors to walk or cycle among wildlife, offering a more immersive and adventurous experience. It is also a geologically active area, home to natural hot springs and the Olkaria Geothermal Station.
