HIDDEN GEMS IN KENYA THAT ARE A MUST SEE
Hells Gate National Park
Hell’s Gate National Park in Kenya might sound like the entrance to a fiery underworld, but it’s actually a natural wonderland with dramatic cliffs, geothermal activity, and landscapes that could make a geologist’s heart race. Imagine biking through an otherworldly terrain while taking in views that are so breathtaking, they might just take your breath away—literally and figuratively. The park’s geothermal vents add a touch of intrigue; just remember, it’s more “hot springs” and less “lava pit.”
Gede ruins
Travel north to the Gede Ruins, where history feels alive and kicking—albeit in a slightly crumbling fashion. These ancient Swahili ruins are like the sophisticated ancestors of modern urban sprawl: they come complete with intricate architecture and a hint of mystery. Wandering through the ruins might make you feel like an extra in a historical drama, minus the dramatic costumes and with slightly more sand.
Fort Jesus
Standing guard over the Indian Ocean since the 16th century. This fort has seen more action than a high-octane action film and boasts a history rich enough to make any historian’s day. Its robust walls have weathered sieges and storms, and the ocean views are as breathtaking as they are historic. Just don’t be surprised if you find yourself pondering the fort’s secrets while you take in the scenery. We won’t talk much about the underground passage to the ocean, we will let you see it for yourself.
Oloolua Nature Trail
Offering a soothing retreat into nature is Oloolua Nature Trail. If Hell’s Gate is the thrill-seeker’s playground, Oloolua is the tranquil escape for those who prefer their adventures at a gentler pace. Here, the only adrenaline you’ll encounter is from spotting wildlife or navigating the occasional uneven path. It’s the perfect spot for a serene walk in the woods, where the only thing rushing is the gentle stream beside you.
Lake Chala
Perched on the Kenya-Tanzania border is Lake Chala. This caldera lake is as clear as the plot of a well-written novel, and its serene beauty is a stark contrast to its volcanic origins. Whether you’re kayaking on its tranquil waters or simply enjoying the view, Lake Chala offers a refreshing dose of natural beauty. It’s like finding a pristine oasis in the middle of a grand adventure—refreshing and utterly captivating.
