About this Safari
You will zip line through a forest, hike to the top of a volcanic crater, Mt Longonot, mountain bike through the canyons of Hell’s Gate National Park, and spend a day exploring the forests, waterfalls, and escarpment of the Aberdare National Park. You’ll finish at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy where you can extend your stay with time on safari learning about their world-class rhino conservation efforts.
- DATES: 1 NOV – 31 MAY (EXCLUDING 20 DEC – 5 JAN)
- FITNESS LEVEL: High
- AGE LIMIT: Children aged nine upwards can participate in the hike and mountain biking, but this is at the parent’s discretion. Children’s mountain bikes can be hired at both Kereita Forest and Hell’s Gate – we recommend you bring cycle helmets from home, though, as they are in very limited supply for rental, and it is difficult to guarantee that the right size will be available.
