Tips

September 23, 2023

Cycling

At this access to the Western (Elsa) gate into the national park are several bike rental providers. There are more rentals at the Elsa Gate itself about 1.8 km inside, as this is the only national park in Kenya allowing bike riding. Most bikes are old, low-end, medium or small mountain bikes, just ok to roll along the mostly flat lower sections of the park. For higher quality and sizes it is recommended to rent from stores in town, mainly Nairobi, or bring your own.

Cycling

The bicycles are very beaten up and poor quality. Impossible to find a suitably sized ride for a tall person.
