Located at Naivasha, in Kenya, which is almost 75 kilometres from the capital city Nairobi. Situated inside Hell's Gate National Park. It was created in Rift Valley when Mount Longonot volcano exploded in 19th century. With many years due to Waterfall, it has become huge now. The journey through Hell's Gate Gorge is adventurous. At the same time it's funny. Go with guides who are experienced. During the journey, few streams,remnants of volcano explosion such as raft like rocks, many sharp black rocks are also seen. There are two Jio thermal power stations near by. It generates electricity from the steam that's produced from the core of earth. Soon after walking through the park, a small mountain can be seen( Fishers tower). Many animals are there in this park. Since there are no wild animals, many tourists travel inside on a bicycle. Naivasha lake was formed at the same time when Rift Valley was formed. During Lake boating many Hippos, Pelican, Senegal, Crain, eagle and many other birds are there. The blissful feeling while watching the nature and the lake is quite amazing.
