A Day at Hell’s Gate
For one of my last weekends in Nairobi, I decided to visit Hell’s Gate. I booked a spot on a joint tour with a pick-up at seven in the morning, which I made with a delay of a minute or two because the guard at my compound had hidden the keys to the gate in a new spot. The drive from Nairobi to the park took about two hours. On the way, we made a quick stop at a lookout over the Great Rift Valley, which I had never seen with such good visibility: I could even recognise the ridges of Mount Longonot. We also managed to squeeze in a quick stop to place an order for our lunch and another to test out our bikes.
