A gorge in Hell’s Gate National Park

The Hell’s Gate National Park which lies South of Lake Naivasha usually experiences flooding because of the gorges that lie downhill. The specific gorge that flooded is the prehistoric Ol-Jorowa gorge. It has been closed indefinitely in the wake of this tragic accident. Due to this unfortunate incident, Kenyans are now burdened with having to be afraid of the unknown when touring anywhere.
