4-Day Safari from Nairobi: Hell's Gate Biking, Lake Naivasha & Maasai Mara Game Drives

You pedal into wind that smells of dust and green algae — the kind of wind that seems to know where the plains open. In Hell's Gate National Park, bicycles are the currency of curiosity: you move at an honest pace, close enough to hear a warthog grunt and to watch cliffs rearrange the light. Later, the road drops you toward Lake Naivasha's glassy bowl and then down onto the Mara, where a horizon of grass and sky eats the distance and lions cross like punctuation.
