Do not venture out at night inside Elsamere camp and try to stay indoors, whether it is inside your room or the main dining hall.
The reason is quite a few animals stroll inside the camp after sundown and none of them are Pets.
A couple of security gurds patrol the camp at Night.
Common Animals which are visible include:
Giraffe
Zebras
Gazelle
Hippos and Rhinos.
A couple of times there has been reports of a Lion too.

Hells Gate National Park is worth seeing. However, the reason I placed it here is the fact that I chose to do it on a bicycle in the unbearable heat of the day.... SOOOO HOT.
The National Park itself isnt that bad, it would be great with a vehicle. The park is situated 14 km after the turnoff from the old Nairobi-Naivasha highway and spans 68.25 km2 and features some amazing gorges and rock formations.
There was little game in the park though, making our expedition on bad tyred uncomfortable bicycles a real work out for little worthwhile goal it seemed.
Unique Suggestions: Do it on a cool day, and in a vehicle, not on a bicycle like I did.
Fun Alternatives: Aparently the Crater Lakes area is very very beautiful, I wish I had seen that, from what I heard it was much nicer and easier going... with a vehicle transporting you in to walk some of the area... and more abundance of wildlife on that particular day.
