That's because the park is largely free of predators, leaving the zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes and rock hyraxes (and human visitors) to roam without fear. The red-rock cliffs of Hell's Gate Gorge are stunning with some weird-and-wonderful rock formations, and the narrow Lower Gorge is a wonderful place to explore with an optional visit to Geothermal Spa to relax in the bubbling swimming pool which is believed it can help reduce stress, bring a sense of peace and serenity, thereafter cycle back to the main entrance to meet your guide as you head straight to Nairobi with lunch on the way.
