HELLS GATE & OLKARIA GEOTHERMAL SPA DAY TRIP
HELLS GATE AND OLKARIA GEOTHERMAL SPA DAY TRIP
Hell's Gate National Park lies south of Lake Naivasha in Kenya, north west of Nairobi. Hell's Gate National Park is named after a narrow break in the cliffs, once a tributary of a prehistoric lake that fed early humans in the Rift Valley. It was established in 1984. A small national park, it is known for its wide variety of wildlife and for its scenery.
This includes the Fischer's Tower and Central Tower columns and Hell's Gate Gorge. The national park is also home to five geothermal power stations at Olkaria. It is called a geothermal hot spa because of the hot water (hot steam that cools in the collecting pipes) that is collected from the various wells within the plant and emptied into the pool. The temperature of the main pool ranges between 30 and 40 degrees centigrade. It is about one and a half hours drive from Nairobi (Approximately 120Km) & 2hrs drive from Nakuru town (Approximately 102km).
